The straight man in the entertainment circle

Guo Xiaoshan did not remain embarrassed for long, and soon the other three directors and host Yi Zhuo also came.

"Is everyone here?" Yi Zhuo came over and asked.

The people in each group looked at it and found that they had all finished speaking.

Yi Zhuo walked to the field and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be quiet. Let me say a few words. First of all, congratulations to everyone for coming here. Except for Chen Qingqing, all of you are one step closer to your final role. And there is another happy event to come. Let me tell you, that is..."

Yi Zhuo deliberately remained blank for a few seconds, and then said: "That's our last program. The ratings once again broke a new high. The data given to me by the director team, "The Show World" program, the ratings of the sixth episode, It exceeded 5%! It has become the highest-rated program in the history of Blueberry Channel! It is also among the top three variety shows in the country!"

Only then did all the actors present pull away from the embarrassing incident involving Guo Xiaoshan just now, and began to exclaim in surprise!

The applause was warm!

These actors have participated in many programs. It would be good if a variety show can break 1% in ratings. The "Masked Singer" that Lin Li participated in did not break 1 before Lin Li joined. And when Lin Li finally revealed his face, It didn’t break the 5% ratings.

However, when Lin Li unveiled his face, it was at the Spring Festival Gala on Lychee Channel. The total number of viewers across the country was much higher than usual, so although the ratings percentage was not as good as this time, judging from the number of viewers, it was probably when Lin Li unveiled his face on Lychee Channel. Big crowds.

However, "The Show" is also broadcast during prime time. The ratings that can break 5% can fully illustrate the influence of this program. It can even be said that "The Show" is a phenomenal variety show.

The actors applauded warmly and felt honored.

It has to be said that the high ratings of this show have brought them unprecedented attention.

Many people who have never been on hot searches have finally been on hot searches a few times.

And even for controversial players like Gao Yu and Yuan Xuan, the number of fans has been rising. They all feel that all this is given by the program team and Guo Xiaoshan.

Although they also knew that everything they did was actually because of Lin Li, they were unwilling to admit it.

"The success of the program is inseparable from everyone's efforts. Here, on behalf of the program team, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I also hope that everyone will continue to work hard to present better performances to all audiences."

After the applause subsided, Yi Zhuocai continued: "Today is not a formal recording. Everyone will follow their director and go to their own group's discussion room to discuss the content of your shooting. Tomorrow afternoon, we will take out the finished film. Performances, evaluations, and I wish everyone good results."

After everyone applauded, they followed the directors of each group to their respective discussion rooms.

Lin Li and others followed Zhang Dasong to the discussion room of Zhang Dasong's director team, which was converted into a conference room on the second floor of the factory.

"The theme of this program is the times. Each of our directors has two film and television shooting tasks, both of which are themes related to the times. One is "Future Progressive" and the other is "Hometown". These two films, you You all know, right?"

The six actors all nodded. Both films are very famous, especially "Hometown", which tells the story of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and has touched several generations.

""Future Progress" is based on the scene where the heroine Manny takes her boyfriend back to meet her father. Her father objects to the two of them being together because the male protagonist does not have a serious job. "Original Hometown" is based on Liu Zheng returning to the mainland. The scene where I found Yu'e and told Lu Ming that I would take Yu'e back to the treasure island."

"These two scenes are the core of these two dramas, especially the later "Hometown", which is not easy, but you are all actors I am very satisfied with, so I will not let you act in such a simple drama , that’s not interesting.”

"We have a group of 6 actors, 2 women and 4 men. These two scripts happen to be for 2 women and 4 men. Take a look at what you want to play and how to allocate the roles. What I hope is that you choose the roles yourself. If we can't negotiate in the end , then I will distribute it."

After Zhang Dashong finished speaking, he took out six sets of scripts and placed them among the six of them.

There was a play title on the script. Lin Li and the other six people did not grab the script, but looked at each other.

Zhang Chaolun was the first to say: "I am the oldest, so I will act in the script of "Hometown"."

Ren Shixiu said: "I also want to play "Hometown"."

Relatively speaking, "Hometown" is more difficult, but if it is performed well, it will be easier to shine.

Ge Erdan said: "Then I will play the father in "Future Progressive"."

Zhou Chen thought about it and felt that he was not sure about playing the old man, so when Lin Li didn't express his position, he hurriedly said: "I'll play the son-in-law."

Lin Li didn't put much thought into playing something difficult and easy to excel in. He felt that although the scenes and roles were important, the most important thing was the actors.

Now that two male characters have been selected for "Future Progressive", only the male characters from "Hometown" are left.

"Then I will play "Hometown"." Lin Lida said.

Chen Qingqing immediately said: "I also want to play Yu'e."

At this time, if Chen Qingqing plays the heroine in "Future Progress", the roles will be assigned perfectly. Everyone thought that the role distribution would be very harmonious. Unexpectedly, Chen Qingqing, who is usually the most talkative, would not agree at this time and would compete with Ren Shixiu. role.

However, there was no problem in telling me the role I wanted to play. Everyone was just a little surprised and didn't say anything.

Ren Shixiu looked at Chen Qingqing and said, "Chen Qingqing, please give it to me. You have played an old man before. We all know that playing an old man is no challenge to you."

Chen Qingqing said: "Then playing a little girl is not a challenge for me."

Ren Shixiu was speechless for a moment, but she still refused to give up and said, "Director Zhang has already decided on your role. Give this role to me."

Ren Shixiu said somewhat pleadingly.

Chen Qingqing glanced at Lin Li and shook her head: "The drama is huge. I'll treat you to dinner later. I won't accept this role!"

When Ren Shixiu saw that Chen Qingqing refused to give in, she had no choice. She knew that she was inferior to Chen Qingqing in terms of popularity and acting skills, so she really had no confidence to grab the role, so she had no choice but to ask for help.

Ren Shixiu looked at the other actors and said, "Tell me, who of us is more suitable for the role of Yu'e?"

Zhang Chaolun said: "How about you two guess the game."

Ren Shixiu thinks this idea is good, at least she has a chance of winning.

"Then let's guess the game and whoever wins gets to play, okay?" Ren Shixiu said.

Chen Qingqing said: "Okay, the outcome will be decided in one round!"

Ren Shixiu nodded, and the two raised their hands together: "Three two one!"

Chen Qingqing showed her scissors, while Ren Shi showed her fists.

Ren Shixiu screamed loudly, then hugged Chen Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, thank you for letting me. I'll treat you to dinner later!"

"Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll play the heroine of "Future Progression"." Chen Qingqing didn't want to act like a rogue in front of Lin Li, so she readily agreed. She looked at Ren Shixiu, "But I'm still the one who wins." please."

Ren Shixiu was in a good mood: "Okay!"

After discussing it, the two groups each took their own scripts.

Now let’s break down the roles.

Because there are only two female characters in the two scripts, Chen Qingqing and Ren Shixiu don't have to choose roles, and Ge Erdan and Zhou Chen have just assigned roles themselves.

So the only remaining roles are assigned to Lin Li and Zhang Chaolun.

The play "Original Hometown" tells the story of Yu'e's man Liu Zheng, who was a soldier. Later, due to well-known reasons, he was defeated and retreated to the treasure island, leaving Yu'e behind. Yu'e didn't know whether Liu Zheng was alive or dead, and the three Years later, she met Lu Ming and married him.

Forty years later, Liu Zheng came back from Treasure Island and found Yu'e. He never married, hoping that one day he could find Yu'e and take her back to Treasure Island to live.

Zhang Chaolun said: "I'm from Baodao. I want to play Liu Zheng. Is that okay?"

Zhang Chaolun feels that Liu Zheng has more room to perform in this play and is more likely to shine.

Being forced to leave your lover and not marrying for forty years can be described as infatuation. This is a bonus. When they meet again after forty years, the feeling of being both strange and familiar between the two is the most touching.

So Zhang Chaolun really wanted to play Liu Zheng.

However, Zhang Chaolun thinks that Lin Li would also like to play this role. After all, this role has more room for performance. Who doesn't want to be more outstanding on the stage?

Zhang Chaolun was afraid that Lin Li would be like Chen Qingqing, saying that the drama was bigger than the sky and would not give up the role.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Zhang Chaolun said, Lin Li nodded and said, "Okay, I can do either. If you play Liu Zheng, then I'll play Lu Ming."

Zhang Chaolun thought that Lin Li originally wanted to play Lu Ming, and he was secretly happy.

Seeing that they had arranged and assigned roles, Zhang Dasong said, "I'll give you all the morning to rehearse, and we'll shoot directly in the afternoon, okay?"

Everyone held thick script books and felt a little unsure, but they didn't want to show their timidity in front of Zhang Dasong, so they all said yes.

Zhang Dasong took the two groups to their respective rehearsal rooms, asked them to rehearse, and then left first.

Zhang Chaolun looked at the thick script book and said, "There are quite a lot of scripts here. Fortunately, I have watched this TV series and am familiar with it, otherwise I would be dead!"

Ren Shixiu looked at the script book. There were more than ten A4 pages, which were divided equally between the three of them. Each person's lines were as many as four or five pages. It was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Even if he didn't eat or drink, by the afternoon of the shooting, it would only be four or five pages. It's only an hour. It's really difficult to remember so many lines in such a short time.

But this time, after all, it is not a direct performance on stage, but a film and television shooting. There will be some gaps in the middle of the live shooting, which can strengthen the memory.

"Hurry up and memorize your lines." Ren Shixiu said.

After saying that, the three stopped talking and began to familiarize themselves with the lines. Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu took colored pens and began to take notes in the line book.

Writing down notes in a script book is considered by many actors as a sign of professionalism. When Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu did this, they obviously felt the same way.

Only Lin Li leaned back in his chair, read it leisurely, and then closed the script book.

Lin Li closed his eyes to reminisce, then opened his eyes and looked at the two people. He saw that they were still looking at each other, so Lin Li did not disturb them and looked at his mobile phone.

After a while, Ren Shixiu looked at Lin Li in surprise and said, "Teacher Lin Li, don't you write down your lines?"

"Oh, I've memorized the lines." Lin Li said.

For Lin Li, this amount of lines was not a question of whether he could remember it, but after reading it, it was difficult for him to forget it.

Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun both glanced at Lin Li curiously. They only memorized their own lines, which was one-third of the entire script book. They had not finished memorizing it, and they were still missing more than half. Lin Li finished memorizing it so quickly. This is a little too fast.

"How many have you memorized?" Lin Li asked.

"I only remembered half of it." Ren Shixiu said.

Because she was worried, Yu'e, played by Im Shixiu, was silent and struggling in this scene, so she had the least lines among the three, so much so that she could remember half of her own lines.

"That should be the reason why you said that you are kind to me and have feelings for him, right?" Lin Li said.

Ren Shixiu was stunned. Lin Li was right. She did only remember this.

"Ah, yes..."

Ren Shixiu admired Lin Li in her heart. He actually remembered his lines, which was really amazing.

"Teacher Zhang, where are you?"

Zhang Chaolun was a little uncomfortable with Lin Li calling him teacher. After all, the situation in the first episode was still fresh in his mind. When Lin Li was commenting, he said that his lines were handled inappropriately, and there was a quarrel between fans on both sides.

But later, Zhang Chaolun felt that Lin Li was pretty good. He dared to speak and act, and was better than himself. Especially in the last issue, when he saw that Lin Li could indeed act, Zhang Chaolun readily accepted Lin Li's comments about himself. Lin Li did have the qualifications. .

"Me, I'm old. I haven't remembered half of it yet. It's only at the end of the fifth page." Zhang Chaolun said.

"Oh, then you should confess to me that you want to take Yu'e away and give me your savings." Lin Lida said.

Zhang Chaolun was also startled, glanced at Ren Shixiu, and said with a smile: "You are really awesome, everyone knows this."

Lin Li smiled and said, "I told you, I've finished remembering it."

These words shocked Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun.

They thought that when Lin Li said he had memorized his lines, he meant he had memorized his own lines. But what Lin Li meant was that he had memorized all three people's lines!

And because the story of the entire drama is blended together, the lines in it are different from those when the TV series was broadcast. Even if Lin Li had watched the TV series and was familiar with it, the lines were no longer the same. He would not be so quick. Just remember it all!

This... only lasts for more than ten minutes. It's almost enough to read it once and memorize all the lines...

How incredible!

"Lin Li, what method did you use to memorize so many lines in such a short time? Can you teach us?" Ren Shixiu looked at Lin Li longingly.

Zhang Chaolun also looked at Lin Li, looking very curious about knowledge.

Lin Li shook his head and said, "It can't be taught. I just remember it after reading it once. How can I teach it?"

Zhang Chaolun: "..."

Ren Shixiu: "..."

After a while, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun finally remembered their lines almost. Both of them had script books in their hands, while Lin Li had empty hands, and the three of them started to read their lines.

scene one

Lin Li: "Put the money away! I'm not short of money!"

Ren Shixiu: "Put it away..."

Ren Shixiu is stuck and is ready to read the script.

Lin Li: "At this time, you pulled me and asked tentatively whether it was okay?"

Ren Shixiu suddenly remembered, closed the script book, and said: "Yes, yes, sorry, let's continue..."

Scene 2

Zhang Chaolun: "Let me toast you again..."

Zhang Chaolun also forgot the lyrics and had to read the script.

Lin Li: "It's not easy at all. Then you have to tell your own sorrows over the past forty years."

Zhang Chaolun closed his script book in shame and said, "It's not easy. Let me tell you how I have spent the past forty years..."

…

After stumbling through it all, Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun were even more impressed by Lin Li.

The two of them didn't remember their lines very well. Lin Li reminded them every time, and he reminded them very accurately. He even told them what tone and expression they should use.

"Let's do it again. This time we don't need a script book, Lin Li is here." Ren Shixiu said.

"Well, do it again."

Lin Li was obviously the youngest among the three, but the confidence and aura he exuded made both Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu feel like they were being taught lines by a teacher at school.

Zhang Chaolun even accepted Lin Li's remarks in the first issue that he had problems handling his lines. Lin Li was right. He was performing a dangerous mission. When he was about to hang up the phone, he said, "Mom, I miss you." This really doesn't fit the character.

Although Zhang Chaolun had known that what Lin Li said had some truth, after all, Lin Li was his junior, so saying something wrong about him in public still made Zhang Chaolun a little uncomfortable.

But after contacting him today, Zhang Chaolun was completely convinced.

He had seen Lin Li's acting skills last time, and this time he saw Lin Li's line skills again. Zhang Chaolun had nothing to say.

Lin Li is indeed qualified to criticize himself and even teach himself.
