The straight man in the entertainment circle

The sixty actors came on stage and ended.

Although the actors did not dare to make any noise like it was a vegetable market, many people they knew were nodding and saying hello to each other after they sat down.

The on-site director shouted: "Five-second countdown on site!"

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Many of the actors at the scene had been sitting in their seats for a long time, and they all felt a little slack at this time. When they heard the countdown, they sat upright and straightened up. The scene also began to feel a sense of tension.

Yi Zhuo walked to the entrance of the hall, looked at the card for a while, then nodded to the camera, and started walking into the hall while reciting his lines.

"Welcome to China's first directing and casting competition reality show, "Starting the Show" jointly sponsored by Xiaomushroom APP and Mimi Juice, and jointly sponsored by the Chinese Film Association, Penguin Video and Blueberry Channel."

I guess Yi Zhuo memorized this passage quite a lot, and he actually said it quite smoothly. Everyone was very happy and applauded.

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking this line, he approached the center of the hall. He settled his steps and the camera followed him around the center of the hall, taking in a complete look around him.

Finally, Yi Zhuo faced the camera and the sixty actors behind him.

"Today, sixty high-quality actors are gathered here. They will show their acting skills and potential to four representative domestic directors, and strive to win the favor of the directors."

Having said this, Yi Zhuo turned around and stood in front of the director's table.

"And our four directors will be looking for the best actors here for their next movie. Today they will announce the two roles they want to find on this stage, and during the show, our directors will also You can temporarily add roles for your favorite actors.”

Before all the actors came to this show, they knew that the four directors were here to select roles, but they didn't know exactly how to select them.

After hearing Yi Zhuo's introduction, everyone understood it somewhat.

In other words, every director will select at least 2 actors in this show. Each director has 15 students, and 2 out of 15 will be selected. Although the chance is slim, if the director likes his performance, he can temporarily add one or two roles. , then the chance of getting the role is much greater.

Now I'm just not sure what kind of roles these directors want.

Yi Zhuo glanced at the sixty actors and enjoyed the torturous pleasure for a moment before saying, "Then we will now ask our directors to announce their casting information."

"Let's start with Director Guo Xiaoshan."

When Yi Zhuo was talking, cameras were already focused on Guo Xiaoshan.

Guo Xiaoshan said to the camera: "Hello, fellow actors, I am Guo Xiaoshan. I am here to find actors for my next movie. The first role I want to find here is our movie. The male lead, the male lead is a writer, handsome in appearance, gentle in character, very infatuated with the female lead, and finally died of cancer."

There have already been rumors about Guo Xiaoshan's next movie. It should be his own novel "The Great Times". It is said that he wrote the male lead based on himself, but Guo Xiaoshan's movie mainly talks about a few things. In the story of the female protagonist, the lead male lead may not actually have as many roles as the second lead female lead, which is about the same role as the third lead female lead. But at any rate, he is the lead male lead in name, and his appeal is still good.

After hearing this, many of the actors' eyes lit up.

The number one male!

Although Guo Xiaoshan's movies are bad, they are all good at the box office. Being the male lead is definitely something to be proud of.

"The second character is the second female lead, a rich second-generation beauty, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, outspoken. She is best friends with the female lead, but later she also fell in love with the male lead, so that the best friends had a mutual discord, but in the end the female lead met In danger, she stood up and died for the heroine.”

When the actors heard this, they thought the story was a bit silly and cliche, but the second female lead seemed to have a pretty good character, especially the one who died for the heroine in the end. This was a good memory point, and many actresses got excited after hearing it. stand up.

After Guo Xiaoshan finished speaking, Yi Zhuo took over and said, "Okay, our director Guo Xiaoshan has finished talking about his preliminary casting ideas. Next, we will ask Director Shi Wei to talk about it."

The camera is facing Shi Wei.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Hello everyone, I am Shi Wei, I am very happy to meet you. I am here this time, hoping to find the second male and female leads for my debut film. My film is about youth and campus. , the second male lead is the neighbor of the female lead, they are childhood sweethearts, mature and calm, and then there is the second female lead, the roommate of the heroine, a character that everyone loves, I won’t reveal the plot for now.”

Guo Xiaoshan's next movie is a novel he published in his early years. Everyone knows the plot outline, so when he talked about the character just now, he also talked about the plot. But Shi Wei, unlike him, will not reveal too much about the plot of the character.

Shi Wei's directorial debut has naturally attracted much attention from the outside world. Although Guo Xiaoshan is the leading male lead, in terms of roles, he may not have as many roles as Shi Wei, the second male lead. Moreover, Guo Xiaoshan has a bad reputation after all. In comparison, Shi Wei's two roles are obviously more attractive to the actors.

"Our directors have all given very important roles. I think everyone can't wait. Director Li Chunhua, it's your turn," Yi Zhuo said.

Li Chunhua said: "What I'm looking for this time is the third male lead and the third female lead in my next TV series. This is a drama of the Republic of China. These two people are a pair of young lovers who rebelled against their family's life arrangement for them and finally participated in the show. war."

Li Chunhua has made a lot of achievements in TV series and movies. No one expected that she was cast for a TV series this time. Although she was the third male and the third female, because it was a TV series, even the third male and the third female, the time they appeared on the screen was It will also be very long.

This is naturally more attractive to most actors.

"Wow, it's a TV series directed by Li Chunhua. We have to look forward to it." Yi Zhuo cheered, "Finally, we would like to ask Master Zhang to talk about your casting selection this time."

The actors all pricked up their ears.

The attractiveness of Zhang Dasong alone is enough to compare with the sum of the other three directors.

"I'm sorry everyone, some of the main roles in my next movie have already been cast, so I only have two supporting roles left, but they are not supporting roles. Both of them have two to three scenes, and each has about 100 lines. There are more than ten sentences, and the appearance time is at least five minutes for each person. There are no requirements for appearance, and there are no restrictions on men and women for the time being."

The actors were a little disappointed when they heard that Zhang Dasong only had two important supporting roles, but everyone knows that Zhang Dasong's movies are overcrowded by actors in the industry. If it weren't for this show, they wouldn't be talking about the main supporting roles. , even if you want to be a bit player, you can't get along.

And being able to have a relationship with Zhang Dashong is far more important than any other role!

Therefore, even if Zhang Dasong only brought out two supporting roles, the appeal is not weak at all.

Everyone was thinking about it, and combined the roles, strengths and weaknesses of the four directors.

Guo Xiaoshan’s directing team: male first, female second.

Advantages: There are enough scenes, high box office, and the characters in the movie are all beautiful.

Disadvantages: Guo Xiaoshan's movies have a poor reputation.

Director Shi Wei's team: second male and second female.

Advantages: It has a lot of scenes, and Shi Wei's directorial debut attracted a lot of attention.

Disadvantages: It is Shi Wei’s first time directing, and the final level and reputation of the film are unknown.

Director Li Chunhua's team: third male, third female.

Advantages: TV series, many opportunities to appear, works directed by Li Chunhua, the quality is basically not bad.

Disadvantages: Compared with movies, TV dramas are less attractive to actors. The roles of three men and three women may be heavy or light. It is difficult to judge.

Director Zhang Dasong's team: two supporting actors.

Advantages: Zhang Dasong's movies attract a lot of attention and are easy to get out of the industry. Zhang Dasong is also a famous master of training newcomers. You can learn a lot. If you participate in Zhang Dasong's movies, you may be able to establish some connections.

Disadvantages: Compared to the other three directors, there are too few roles.

The roles of the four directors each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but for the sixty actors, they are all chosen people in the entertainment industry, so they also know that it is really difficult to consider which director to choose at this time. Thinking too much.

Just wait and see which director favors you.

After the four directors finished speaking, Yi Zhuo smiled and said: "After listening to what several directors have said, I want to participate."

There was laughter.

Yi Zhuo waited for everyone to laugh for a while and then said: "I think the three members of the celebrity observation group will agree with what I said."

The topic smoothly turned to the three celebrity observation group.

Tong Lu sat in the middle, so naturally she spoke first.

"Yes, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years and have never had the opportunity to cooperate with several directors. I also hope to be in the plays of these directors."

Huang Wenlong smiled and said: "Recording a variety show together is considered a collaboration, and we collaborated with four directors at once."

Everyone laughed when they heard Huang Wenlong's interpretation.

Yi Zhuo said to the camera: "Friends in the audience, here I would like to introduce to you our celebrity observation group. They are the famous actor Tong Lu..."

Tong Lu stood up and applause broke out.

"The famous actor Huang Wenlong..."

Huang Wenlong stood up, and applause rang out.

"There are many famous singers and poets."

Lin Li stood up and bowed to everyone, and the applause was much warmer.

From the beginning, Lin Li talked about the works and experiences of many unknown actors. Those actors were full of good impressions of Lin Li. In addition, there were many actors who had a good impression of Lin Li, so the applause when Lin Li stood up was obviously overshadowed. The first two actors.

Tong Lu and Huang Wenlong looked at each other and smiled. Tong Lu said, "Look at his popularity."

"I knew Lin Li was very popular, but I didn't expect him to be so popular among our actors." Huang Wenlong said with envy.

"Come on, let's give Tong Lu and Huang Wenlong some more applause!" Shi Wei encouraged the actors with a smile.

The actors naturally appreciated this and applauded vigorously. Tong Lu and Huang Wenlong hurriedly stood up to express their thanks.

Yi Zhuodao: "Today is the first episode of our program. There will be no elimination today. The sixty actors will go on stage one by one to perform their respective programs, and then they will be selected by four directors. If no director is selected, it will be pending. District, if there are more than two directors selected, the actors can counter-select, and the three star observation groups will express their opinions after everyone's performance, which will affect the directors' judgment of selection, I hope everyone will perform well."

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking, he paused, and then laughed innocently: "What's below..."

Apparently he had forgotten what to do next. Everyone at the scene laughed softly when they saw Yi Zhuo being a little confused.

Yi Zhuo looked at the card in his hand, and after a while, he gestured to the camera, and then continued: "Now, the contestants are invited to perform in the order of their debut time, but this time, the contestants with the longer debut time will The first person to perform is Zhang Chaolun."

The program team also considered this setting because if pure newcomers are allowed to appear first, they are afraid that they will have stage fright and affect the effect of the program.

"Everyone only has a maximum of two minutes to perform. The director can stop at any time. Is everyone clear?" Yi Zhuo asked.

"Clear!"

The actors said in unison that these rules were notified to them before they came.

"Okay, let's first invite... Zhang Chaolun!"

Zhang Chaolun had already reached the door of the hall at this time. Applause rang out and he walked up from the door.

Zhang Chaolun performed the scene of a policeman calling his family before going on a dangerous mission.

Zhang Chaolun is worthy of being an actor with 20 years of acting experience. What he did was laugh and joke on the phone that he was doing well here. Before hanging up the phone, his tone suddenly changed and he said very affectionately, "Mom, I miss you." ", and then ended his performance.

Everyone stared at the big screen in the hall to see the close-up of Zhang Chaolun's face. The expression on his face was very delicate and full of changes.

In addition to having some Baodao accents that make everyone feel like they are watching a Hong Kong and Taiwan drama, in terms of performance alone, Zhang Chaolun's performance is already very good, showing both the responsible side of a man and the tender side of a tough man. , there were tears in his eyes at the end, which moved many people.

After the other actors watched it, their pressure doubled. They were really under a lot of pressure to compare with veteran actors like Zhang Chaolun.

Zhang Chaolun bowed to signal the end of the performance, and everyone applauded.

"Okay, Zhang Chaolun's performance is over, so please first ask our three celebrity observation groups to express your opinions."

The three of them gave in for a while, and finally Huang Wenlong said first: "I think it's difficult to perform solo because you don't have an opponent to react to you, so you have to rely on yourself for everything. But Zhang Chaolun performed very well and there is nothing to say."

Huang Wenlong wanted to say something about the accent, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

Tong Lu also continued: "I just looked at the big screen, and I think this will definitely be repeated over and over again on the crew. It was performed so well."

Others nodded in agreement after hearing what they said. Apparently they also agreed that Zhang Chaolun's acting skills were very good. Then, everyone in the audience looked at Lin Li.

For some reason, everyone felt a little frightened when they saw Lin Li picking up the microphone.

The scene of Lin Li scolding people on the program "Please Give Me a Meal" is still fresh in people's memory. Everyone felt that Lin Li would curse people whenever he opened his mouth.

But facing Zhang Chaolun's mature performance, Lin Li shouldn't be able to find any faults, right?

Moreover, Lin Li is great at singing, but acting is a layman's job. He certainly wouldn't dare to express his opinions randomly, and would be humiliating himself, right?

As a result, Lin Li picked up the microphone next to his seat and said: "I don't think everyone here comes here to ask for praise and affirmation, so...we will say what is good, and we will also say what is bad. This is who we are." It's your job to sit here, but since everyone has said good things, let me say a few not so good things. This is my family's opinion, and it may not be right, but we can discuss it together."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. No one expected that Lin Li would actually say something unpleasant.

This is too courageous. After all, Zhang Chaolun has been acting for 20 years. Huang Wenlong and Tong Lu are also good at acting. They all agreed that the performance was good, but Lin Li dared to go against it?

Even several directors turned sideways and looked at Lin Li with interest.

For a moment, the whole place was very quiet.
