The straight man in the entertainment circle

After Lin Li said his cruel words, most people stood up and applauded, making him the most eye-catching among all the players.

Lin Li walked to the team of performers and sat down.

Everyone sat down one after another.

"As expected, it was Lin Li, and the cruel words he said were too cruel!" Yi Zhuo sighed with emotion.

Lin Li smiled and said: "I either don't do it or I do it best! I also curse others!"

Yi Zhuo: "..."

The last time Yi Zhuo hosted "It's Too Difficult" was a hot topic. He was in a dilemma when faced with Zhang Dasong's obvious intention to break the rules of the show.

When the program was broadcast, his expressions were added with numerous psychological words in the later stage, making his image of a coward deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At that time, only Lin Li stepped forward and was not afraid of Zhang Dashong's prestige, so he solved Yi Zhuo's problem. Yi Zhuo was grateful to Lin Li from the bottom of his heart, so he was obviously more enthusiastic towards Lin Li this time.

If Lin Li had said such words before, Yi Zhuo would not have dared to answer, fearing that Lin Li would say something else that would make him unable to answer. But now Yi Zhuo knew that Lin Li was a righteous person at heart, so Lin Li didn't seem so scary anymore.

Although Lin Li said it, he still couldn't answer it.

"Okay, now all the 12 actors in our kicking team have appeared. Let's introduce the competition system of this period!"

Yi Zhuo took out his card and started reading.

"The theme of this issue is improvisation. As we all know, an actor often encounters some unexpected things when filming a film or television drama. There are also many actors in film and television dramas who improvise on the set to add luster to the film. clips, so improvisation is also an important lesson for an actor.”

Everyone was a little frightened when they heard that this was an impromptu performance.

Because improvisation is the best way to show off an actor's strengths and weaknesses. It's not like rehearsing in advance. Many actors can cover up their shortcomings through their own designs and rehearsals, but improvisation can't.

This time, the space reserved by the factory was much larger, as big as a basketball court, and there were many more cameras around than before. All of this made everyone suddenly nervous.

"In this period, our performance is divided into two rounds. In the first round, four instructors took turns to improvise questions, and 24 actors competed together..."

When Yi Zhuo said this, the four directors looked at each other, and Shi Wei said, "Shall we come up with a question?"

Yi Zhuo looked at his card and said, "Yeah, the director's team says so."

There was laughter.

The four directors also understood that because it was an impromptu performance, the program team wanted to ensure fairness, so the actors had to not know the title beforehand. If the program team had set the title, it might have been leaked long ago. After all, it was here. Many people have some background.

Even if it is not leaked, the audience in front of the TV will not think so.

As long as the actor you like does not advance, there will always be some people on the Internet who want to know the inside story of the show, so the program team came up with this method.

Allowing the four directors to decide the title of the impromptu performance on the spot can stop the crowd from talking, and prevent the program team from leaking the title in advance to some actors who are scheduled to be promoted.

Because everyone knows that with four directors, especially a director like Zhang Dasong, it is impossible for the program team to let him follow the acting and follow the unspoken rules.

Zhang Dashong is the "National Master" in the eyes of netizens. He has his own artistic pursuits and has his own standards for acting skills. It is impossible to let the program team decide.

Li Chunhua smiled and said: "It's not difficult to come up with impromptu questions."

Zhang Dasong looked at Lin Li and said, "Lin Li's cruel words are right. Of all the people, I am looking forward to your performance the most. Don't let me down."

Zhang Dashong had suggested that Lin Li try acting a long time ago. He was naturally looking forward to Lin Li's participation this time.

And with Zhang Dasong's status, he doesn't have to worry about Guo Xiaoshan's thoughts.

"I will try my best." Lin Li replied.

"Well... let me tell you the rules..."

Yi Zhuo saw that they said nice things and continued talking, causing the whole audience to laugh.

"In the first round, each of the four directors asked a question about improvisation, and all the actors performed their own performances. After the first round, each director had to write down the names of the two actors who he thought performed best. These eight actors Let’s move on to the next episode of the show and sprint for the final role.”

"The remaining 16 people will perform in the second round, and then each director will choose one of them. After two rounds, only 12 people can enter the next stage, and half of them will not be able to continue on this stage."

After everyone heard this, they all understood the rules of this period. Half of the people left, and there will be no more resurrection matches later. This competition system is quite cruel.

"Is everyone clear?" Yi Zhuo asked everyone after finishing reading.

"Clear."

"Okay, then our competition has officially begun! We have invited four directors to start presenting questions!"

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking, he looked at the four directors: "Which director is willing to propose the topic first?"

The four directors looked at each other, and Guo Xiaoshan said: "Director Zhang, give us a sample!"

After all, Zhang Dasong is a great director, so it is not difficult for him to come up with this kind of temporary theme.

"Okay, I have my question." Zhang Dasong said: "My question is very simple, but it is not easy to perform well. Come on, there is a mobile phone three meters away from you that was left on the ground by someone. I want to Let’s see how you play small characters…”

Zhang Dasong looked at the actors below and said, "Well...Lin Li...I said, I'm looking forward to your performance, so you go first."

Lin Li stood up. At this time, he had entered performance mode. He walked very quickly and walked a few steps, which was about three meters as Zhang Dasong said. He suddenly stopped. Lin Li looked at his feet and then He looked around and seemed to see no one, then he knelt down and picked up the phone.

Lin Li picked up the phone and looked back and forth, then stuffed it directly into his pocket and strode away.

Lin Li's performance ended in just ten seconds. The other actors raised their eyebrows, thinking that Lin Li would come back to make a comeback. But after Lin Li left, he obviously had no intention of coming back.

"Is the performance over?" Zhang Dasong asked Lin Li.

Lin Li nodded.

Everyone was surprised when Lin Li's performance ended. Although Lin Li was quite expressive in these few seconds, wasn't his performance too short?

Improvisational performance is not just a casual performance!

Just now you said you should work hard, so you work hard like this?

Everyone was a little disappointed in Lin Li.

But Lin Li didn't think that since Zhang Dashong asked them to play a small character who picked up a mobile phone, it was just like that. If they acted too much, the traces of their performance would show up.

This is at least natural and done in one go.

Zhang Dasong was noncommittal and continued: "Okay, next, the girl in white...what's her name?"

"Yu Yali."

"Okay, Yu Yali, come and act."

Yu Yali took two steps forward, stopped, looked around, then squatted down, picked up the phone, looked at it for a while, and then started shouting: "Whose phone is it?"

There was no one to play with at this time, so no one must have responded.

After Yu Yali shouted twice, she suddenly smiled and said, "The phone is good. If no one wants it, I can use it myself."

Suddenly, she seemed to realize that this was wrong, shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, this phone belongs to someone else, how can I have it!"

"It's okay, maybe they don't want it?"

"You haven't even found the owner, how do you know he doesn't want it anymore?"

…………

Yu Yali talked and answered by herself. She wanted to express the inner struggle of the character, so she talked a lot. In the end, she felt that the time was almost up, and she might be stopped by the director if she continued to act, so she said: "Take it back and wait for the call." If the owner calls, I will return it; if the owner doesn’t call, I will use it myself!”

After saying that, Yu Yali left happily.

Zhang Dasong still didn't comment and chose the next actor to play.

This time I ordered She Jiaojiao.

She Jiaojiao walked forward for a few steps, suddenly stopped, looked around, then squatted down, picked up the phone, looked at the phone for a while, scratched her head, waited on the spot, took out her phone, and called Made a phone call.

"Hello, policeman?"

"I picked up a mobile phone..."

"I don't know whose it is..."

…

She Jiaojiao called the police with great energy, and finally handed her cell phone to the police.

Most of the people who were named later had their own way of handling the situation, and some even deliberately acted like the owner called. The two talked for a while and finally returned the phone to the owner.

Everyone's performance and handling methods are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they perform a lot of content.

"It's the last one, Chen Qingqing. I specially left it for you. Come and act." Zhang Dasong looked at Chen Qingqing and said.

Zhang Dasong likes Chen Qingqing very much. The last time he had to wait for her, Zhang Dasong felt a little regretful. In this issue, others dare not say that Zhang Dasong reserved Chen Qingqing's quota for her.

Everyone's eyes were on Chen Qingqing, wanting to see how she would act.

More than 20 actors played the same title. In the end, many of them actually played the same thing. Chen Qingqing, who has become popular recently, is also the acting director of this show. Everyone wants to see her different interpretation.

For this kind of impromptu question involving multiple people, everyone feels that the person who appears first and last is not very pleasing to the audience.

Because the first player may make some problems, and the last player may easily fall into the same performance processing as the previous players.

Those who play in the middle have a lot of room to choose how to deal with it, and they can also try to avoid the problems caused by the players in front, so those who play in the middle are the best.

Chen Qingqing started walking. Her steps were fast. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She looked at her feet, then around, then squatted down and picked up her mobile phone.

Chen Qingqing picked up the phone and looked back and forth, then stuffed it directly into her pocket and strode away.

Chen Qingqing's impromptu performance ended in just ten seconds. Everyone suddenly felt that her performance was the same as Lin Li's!

Everyone could see the performance of Lin Li, who was the first to appear, and Chen Qingqing, who was the last to appear. They both performed poorly.

Lin Li, in particular, was so arrogant just now, but now his performance from the beginning is disappointing.

Everyone had high expectations for both of them, but the gap was huge.

Even Yi Zhuo seemed a little disappointed. He said, "Director Zhang, all the actors have finished their performances. Can you comment?"

Zhang Dashong smiled and said: "I won't comment yet, but what time is it now?"

Everyone was confused by Zhang Dashong's question. Yi Zhuo looked at his phone: "10:50!"

Zhang Dasong nodded and said, "Let's have dinner early today. Let's eat first. I'll comment later when we record in the afternoon."

Everyone was even more curious when they saw Zhang Dasong betrayed him.

The program team looked at the time and thought it would be quite time-consuming to record another set, so they agreed to Zhang Dasong's request.

"Okay, the morning recording is over. Let's take a break. After lunch, we will start the afternoon recording early. Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"

The morning recording ends here. Everyone went to the restroom, retouched their makeup, and played with their mobile phones.

Lin Li drank some water and went to the toilet to take a shower.

Afterwards, he went to the canteen where the program team served meals. As soon as he arrived at the door, Lin Li heard several actors from Guo Xiaoshan's group in the smoking area around the corner mocking him.

I can't help but my listening skills are now very strong.

"Lin Li is a great braggart, but his acting is not as good as yours or mine!"

"Keep your voice down, but you are right, what kind of thing are you acting!"

"Director Guo had the foresight to know that he was not good enough and forced him to act. Now, let's see if he dares to say that our acting is bad!"

"Haha, I think next time the play directed by Lin Li will be worse than the one directed by Guo!"

…………

Lin Li was already preparing to leave, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help it.

So he took a step forward and walked over. The voices of those people were very low, thinking that no one would hear them. But when they were talking enthusiastically, Lin Li appeared!

Those people were startled and their faces instantly turned pale. Although they were all older than Lin Li, Lin Li was taller than them and overwhelmed them with his aura. Moreover, Lin Li's eyes were so scary. The moment they saw Lin Li, They all took two steps back.

Lin Li smiled, looked at Gao Yu, the leader of these people, and said, "It seems that my education to you has not been in vain. You also know that the movies directed by Guo Xiaoshan are bad!"

Those people said that the movies made by Lin Li were worse than those made by Guo Xiaoshan. Didn't they also mean that the movies directed by Guo Xiaoshan were bad? It makes perfect sense if analyzed in this way.

When those people heard this, they became even more nervous.

Lin Li and the others were offended, and they didn't want to offend Guo Xiaoshan again.

They looked around and saw no surveillance cameras, so they became bolder.

"Lin Li, don't sow discord. You're a bad actor, so you can't let us talk about it!" Gao Yu said.

"That's right, you're so popular, aren't you?" said another resurrected player.

Lin Li sneered: "If you have the ability to act like a man, say what you want to say on stage, don't hide behind your back and gossip."

"You think I don't dare to say it! I...I just...don't have a chance!" Gao Yu said hesitantly.

Lin Li nodded, looked at them, and said, "Oh, I understand."

After saying that, Lin Li did not continue to pester them and turned around to go to the canteen.

After having lunch in the cafeteria, Gao Yu and the others came over not long after. They gathered together and were still muttering something.

Soon the two hours of lunch and lunch break passed, and everyone gathered in the recording factory again.

After everyone on the program team checked the machine, the afternoon recording continued.

Before the recording started, Lin Li stepped forward and said a few words to Yi Zhuo.

Yi Zhuo continued the morning's topic and continued: "All the actors have finished performing Director Zhang's improvisational performance this morning. I heard that our actors had a lively discussion just now, especially Gao Yu. Listen to Lin Li, you have something to say. Are you saying that you never had a chance?"

Gao Yu was stunned. He never expected that he had just choked with Lin Li, and Lin Li said that he knew, so that was what he meant!

He actually found an opportunity for himself to speak and let himself confront him?

Gao Yu just said harsh words in front of Lin Li, and now he was called out by Yi Zhuo, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Either swallow what he just said to Lin Li and praise Lin Li here, but this may offend Guo Xiaoshan.

Or they really want to fight against Lin Li, but after all, he is only a third- and fourth-tier actor, and his popularity is incomparable to that of Lin Li. In the past, they only supported Guo Xiaoshan and did not dare to go to war with Lin Li head-on!

Gao Yu stood up and gave a wry smile. The people who had made sarcastic comments about Lin Li Feng with Gao Yu just now all gave him encouraging looks, asking him to confront Lin Li.

Gao Yu swallowed his saliva, his mind started to heat up, and he said: "I have something to say. In the past, Lin Li commented on us and said that our acting skills were poor, but we did not refute. We did not do well enough, but today, we watch Lin Li himself act Regarding this, we all feel that Lin Li doesn’t know how to act, so his previous comments are completely worthless!”

After Gao Yu finished speaking, Guo Xiaoshan smiled. Zhong Yuejiao and other actors in Guo Xiaoshan's group even clapped sparsely.

Yi Zhuo thought that Lin Li asked him to give Gao Yu a chance to speak because Gao Yu wanted to praise Lin Li, but he didn't expect that Gao Yu turned against Lin Li!

Yi Zhuo glanced at Lin Li and felt a headache again.

What Gao Yu said was obviously the inner voice of some actors. They really felt that Lin Li was not good at acting. At this time, they all looked at Lin Li.

Lin Li was calm and composed.

Yi Zhuo had no choice but to look at Zhang Dashong: "Director Zhang, do you agree with Gao Yu's view?"

Yi Zhuo's idea was that Zhang Dasong would say a word or two to Lin Li, and he would determine the character. It would be hard for everyone to say anything. Even if Lin Li's performance was not good, but Zhang Dasong said it was good, then it was good!

Zhang Dasong leaned on the chair and smiled warmly: "Who acts well and who doesn't act well, I don't care..."

Yi Zhuo smiled and said, "What you say doesn't count, so no one else's will."

"I think the facts have the final say." Zhang Dasong said with a smile, "The actors can play the situation of picking up the mobile phone in any way, but what I'm talking about is how to play the little character well, not how the actors themselves handled the phone. This takes into account how they feel about little people.”

When Zhang Dasong said this, many of the actors just now felt that they had made mistakes. Some of them used themselves as the starting point for their interpretations, while some actors took it for granted and acted out the behavior of a passerby who picked up a mobile phone. .

"But what is the reality?" Yi Zhuo asked.

Zhang Dasong said: "The reason why I asked everyone to eat and rest just now is because I need some time. What do I need time for? That is, I spent the two hours just now to let my assistant and several people from the program team People, we went to the streets outside and did the exact same experiment. We dropped our phones on the ground to see how passers-by would react. We secretly took videos. These contents are completely real. Even I haven’t watched them yet. So, the program team Someone took out the video just now, let’s take a look, and then compare it with the actors we just had to see who acted the most realistic and similar!”

After Zhang Dashong finished speaking, everyone was in admiration. He was indeed a great director, he could think of such a way!

Even Lin Li admired him from the bottom of his heart. For a director of Zhang Dasong's stature, he actually already had the answer in his mind. He could express his own thoughts and no one dared to say he was wrong.

Zhang Dasong did this just to let everyone see the facts. Only what such a director says is convincing!
