The straight man in the entertainment circle

The program "The Big Show" has achieved unprecedented success. Since it was announced that 500 on-site audiences will be invited to vote for this episode, the number of registered viewers has been very enthusiastic, and the number of people once reached tens of thousands.

The program team screened 500 people, and today, these viewers arrived early to wait for the recording.

The works of the four directors were also completed this morning. After lunch, everyone started to get busy.

Most of the actors have acted in many movies, but this is their first time watching the audience rate their performances like this. Everyone is a little nervous. After all, they have not seen how the film will turn out. .

When Lin Li arrived at the scene, the audience had already begun to take their seats.

After about half an hour, the program team asked everyone to prepare to enter.

According to seniority, the first group to appear was Guo Xiaoshan and the actors in his group, followed by Shi Wei, then Li Chunhua, and finally Zhang Dasong.

When Zhang Dasong took the stage with Lin Li, Chen Qingqing and others, the factory building burst into warm applause and screams, and it felt like the roof was about to be turned off.

Chen Qingqing was originally the most popular among all the actors, Zhang Chaolun's popularity was also in the top four, Zhang Dasong was the most popular among all the directors, and now Lin Li, a very popular player, has been added, which makes Zhang Dasong formed a veritable popular group.

The applause and screams at the scene lasted for a long time before stopping.

Everyone sat down, and the host Yi Zhuo stepped forward and said: "Welcome to China's first director casting competition reality show jointly sponsored by Xiao Mushroom APP and Mimi Juice, and jointly sponsored by the Chinese Film Association, Penguin Video and Blueberry Channel. I am the host of "The Great Show" program, Yi Zhuo."

Facing an audience of 500 people this time, Yi Zhuo was a lot more nervous than before, and the line he said most and most smoothly was not as smooth as before.

"Today, we welcome 500 live audiences for the first time, welcome you!"

There was a round of applause.

"Okay, let me announce the rules of today's program. This episode is a duel between actors within each director's group. After the videos performed by the actors are played, all viewers will vote on the films. Finally, all viewers will also vote on the actors in the group. Voting will be conducted, and the individual votes and the film's votes will be added up, and the last actor in each director's group will be eliminated unfortunately."

Since there is an audience in this episode, it is natural for the audience to decide the candidates for elimination, and it is no longer up to the director to decide whether they are eliminated. After all, it is almost the end, and the director does not want to offend anyone.

After explaining the rules of this issue, the formal viewing stage began.

The first group is the Guo Xiaoshan group.

The first to appear in the Guo Xiaoshan group are Zhong Yuejiao, Yuan Xuan, and Chen Jun. The three of them acted in a recent hit drama.

Chen Jun plays a lawyer, Yuan Xuan plays a news editor, and Zhong Yuejiao plays the mother of a murderer. She has a low self-esteem and is slovenly and dare not meet people. The story is that the news editor comes to interview the murderer's mother, and The lawyer defended the mother.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhong Yuejiao's role in this play has the most room for development, and Chen Jun and Yuan Xuan are obviously green leaves for Zhong Yuejiao.

After they finished their performance, it was the other three members of Guo Xiaoshan's group, Gao Yu, Chu Yuan and Lu Jiayun. The three of them acted in a love scene.

Gao Yu and Lu Jiayun play a couple, and Chu Yuan plays their landlord. The plot is that Gao Yu and Lu Jiayun live in this house from the beginning, and they are very sweet at first. After a few years, they work separately and start to become cold. But they still got married, and a few years later, the two got divorced in the house.

The story is very ordinary, the filming is also very ordinary, and the director's level is completely invisible.

However, the audience was very considerate and applauded after watching it.

"Okay, the two films directed by Guo Xiaoshan have been played. All viewers are invited to vote. There are two tickets on your seats. One is the name of the film and television drama, and the other is the actor's name. Please write in On the card with the name of the movie and TV series, tick your favorite movie and TV series. You can only choose one of them. If you don't choose or select multiple ones, they will be invalid!"

"Then please check your favorite actor on the card with the actor's name written on it. Each person can only choose two at most. Please choose carefully. After one minute, our staff will come to collect your votes, and I’ll give you the ticket cards for the next group.”

"Please hurry up and choose carefully, the fate of the actors is in your hands~"

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking, everyone began to look at the audience.

The five hundred spectators at the scene filled in the form carefully. Lin Li saw it and thought to himself that the program team put Guo Xiaoshan's team at the front. It seemed that they had considered it. With the acting skills and script of Guo Xiaoshan's team, if they were placed in Zhang Dasong's Behind the group, I'm afraid many viewers will abandon their votes.

When Guo Xiaoshan's group was placed at the front, the audience did not compare and voted honestly.

Soon a staff member went to collect the tickets, and then issued two tickets to the next group of Shi Wei groups to the audience.

The counting of votes will take some time, and in order to maintain confidentiality, the final results will be announced after the final clearance.

So after sending and receiving the tickets, the program team continued.

Below is the performance of Shi Wei's group.

Although Shi Wei has no directing experience, she seems to be better than Guo Xiaoshan, and the acting skills of the actors are also remarkable. Especially Ji Yi in her group broke out with her acting skills this time, winning applause from the audience.

Tong Lu and Huang Wenlong from the Star Observation Group also acted in the film and contributed good acting skills.

After Shi Wei's group, the films directed by Li Chunhua followed closely behind.

Li Chunhua's directing style is more mature, and the actors' performances are much better than live performances. After all, they can be infinitely NG.

Finally, there is the director team of Zhang Dasong.

The first to appear was the trio from "Hometown".

Zhang Dasong also has his own ideas for this arrangement, because each film takes more than ten minutes, and the longest one is 20 minutes. They have to be watched together before voting, so the group at the back will have an advantage.

After all, I just finished the performance and my emotions are still there.

As for the two scripts "Hometown" and "Future Progressive", "Hometown" is more difficult, but in terms of script quality, it is slightly better than "Future Progressive", so Zhang Dashong placed "Hometown" in From the very beginning, this method was used to try to smooth out the gap between the two scripts.

Try to have all the audience's votes based on the actors' performances.

To shoot these short plays, the program team built temporary scenes, which added authenticity from the perspective of the film.

At the beginning of the film, Ren Shixiu is serving food at home.

Zhang Chaolun was sitting at the dinner table. When he saw Ren Shixiu bringing dishes, he got up to help.

Seeing Ren Shixiu and Zhang Chaolun's appearance, some people in the audience let out a sound of admiration, probably thinking that they looked pretty good in old age.

"Yu'e, have you told Brother Lu about that matter?"

Ren Shixiu shook her head in embarrassment and put down the food: "I have lived with him for forty years, why do I open my mouth like this!"

Ren Shixiu sighed with a sad face, and then continued to go to the kitchen to serve food.

Zhang Chaolun also had a grimace on his face and said, "I know you feel bad. If you can't open your mouth, I'll tell you later."

Ren Shixiu didn't comment, went to bring another plate of food, and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Zhang Chaolun said with a little choked up: "Didn't we already agree that you and he still have forty years, but we haven't been together for four years..."

Ren Shixiu looked at Zhang Chaolun with emotion, hesitated for a while, and then said with difficulty: "Go and pack your things."

Zhang Chaolun looked happy, but with tears in his eyes, he nodded: "I'm going to pack my things. I'll talk to Brother Lu later!"

Zhang Chaolun went to the back door, while Ren Shixiu sat blankly on the chair, eyes blank.

At this time, an old voice came from outside the house: "Yu'e, I'm back, open the door!"

Ren Shixiu came to her senses, straightened her expression, walked over and opened the door.

When Lin Li approached the room, the audience all exclaimed.

"Who is this?"

"Lin Li."

"Ah, is it Lin Li? This change must be too big!"

"What a fuss! No matter how great this change is, it's still a man's. When Lin Li dressed as a woman, that was a big change!"

"This old-age makeup is really amazing, please give me back my handsome Lin Li!"

"This is not due to the makeup. Lin Li acted well. Look at his demeanor and appearance, he looks exactly like an old man."

"It does look like it. My grandpa walks just like him!"

…………

Everyone was exclaiming about Lin Li's acting skills. As soon as Lin Li appeared on the stage, it was no longer Lin Li, but Lu Ming in "Hometown".

Soon, everyone fell silent.

Because the scene between these three people was so gripping, Lu Ming, played by Lin Li, did not know that Yu'e was going to the treasure island with Liu Zheng, but still entertained Liu Zheng warmly.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Zheng began to tell the story.

At first, Lu Ming thought Liu Zheng was going to take Yu'e to travel to the treasure island, so he agreed immediately.

Liu Zheng explained that it was to live, not to travel.

The smile on Lu Ming's face froze. He was stunned for a while, then looked at Yu'e and said that he wanted to listen to Yu'e.

"Yu'e is also willing, she just doesn't know how to speak." Liu Zhengdao.

Lu Ming originally looked at Yu'e expectantly, but after hearing these words and seeing the guilty look on Yu'e's face, Lu Ming suddenly understood everything. He laughed and said, "Okay, sure. Go ahead, just discuss it, I...I have no problem, I...I'm not important!"

Lin Li's voice was already extremely contagious. At this time, he was holding back his grief and pretending to be relaxed, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

After speaking, Lu Ming continued to drink. However, before Lu Ming and Liu Zheng drank, they ate and drank. Now Lu Ming only drank.

The three of them were silent for more than ten seconds.

And the silence is oppressive.

"Lao Lu, stop drinking." Yu'e stopped Lu Ming and said.

Lu Ming approached Yu'e and held the wine bottle with his left hand. He leaned forward slightly, as if he was leaning on the wine bottle to support his body. He picked up the wine glass with his other hand, laughed and said: " How much did you drink just now? It's okay... Oh... it's okay, I... I'm angry with myself..."

Lu Ming drank it all in one gulp: "I'm angry at myself... In the past forty years, you said that Yu'e has endured all the hardships with me... Now that Old Liu is here, Yu'e has never forgotten you. She keeps talking about you. You've made me tired of talking about you, hahaha... Go, go to Treasure Island with Lao Liu, go and enjoy the happiness..."

Lin Li's old voice laughed, and the laughter was full of self-denial and desolation. Ren Shixiu was not prepared to cry here, but after hearing Lin Li's words, she could no longer hold back the tears.

When reviewing the lines, Ren Shixiu admired Lin Li's speed in memorizing lines and his understanding of the script. But when she actually acted, she found that Lin Li's most powerful skills were far from those.

The great thing about Lin Li is that he has a huge magnetic field when he is acting. Every word, every laugh, and every tiny expression forms this huge magnetic field, making everyone in it feel the same. , as if what you are seeing in front of you is not the dramatic character played by Lin Li, but the living person in the drama!

When Ren Shixiu is in this magnetic field, she can't help but assume the identity of the character.

One is her wife who has lived with her for forty years, and the other is the lover she has wanted for forty years. No matter who she chooses between the two, she knows that she will regret it.

Therefore, Ren Shixiu shed tears under extreme suffering and guilt.

Infected by Lin Li's performance, many girls in the audience also shed tears.

Then Liu Zheng, played by Zhang Chaolun, expressed his gratitude to Lu Ming for being reasonable, and by the way, he emotionally talked about his own suffering over the past forty years and his longing for Yu'e.

In this kind of competitive film shooting, what the director has to worry about is actually how to make the actors' roles more even, instead of like Guo Xiaoshan, where two people act as green leaves for the other!

This is extremely unfair to the other two people.

Therefore, in the section of "Hometown", Zhang Chaolun tells his own sufferings, which is when Zhang Chaolun shows himself as a man who had to separate from his lover, not marrying for forty years, and wanted to come back to find his lover, but found that his lover already had a family. , In fact, the psychological pressure and misery Liu Zheng faced was no less than that of Lu Ming.

This kind of character with a story and inner drama is very easy to stand out, which is why Zhang Chaolun wanted to play Liu Zheng from the beginning.

Zhang Chaolun also performed very well in this episode where he told himself. At least it made everyone forget about Zhang Chaolun's previous appearance in idol dramas. Many people also shed tears when they heard his confession.

Although there is no scene where Ren Shixiu complains, she is sandwiched between two men the whole time. She has to react to whoever speaks. In fact, she is slightly more interesting than the two male characters.

But Im Shixiu is acting in a state where she doesn’t know how to speak, and her lines will be a little less than those of the two boys, so on balance, the scenes between the three of them are actually about the same.

In the content of Liu Zheng's complaint, Lu Ming discovered for the first time that his wife Yu'e could also sing, so he invited Yu'e to sing a song "Long Farewell", and the three of them sang the song together.

The song "Long Farewell" is the most famous farewell song in the world. The melody and lyrics are very simple, but the simplicity is only moving at this time. When the three sang it, the audience burst into tears. people.

As a singer, Lin Li could have sung this song better, but he didn't do that. Instead, he chose a singing method that was more appropriate for the character. Although it was a bit out of tune, it made people smile after listening to it. It felt like crying.

After the three of them finished singing the song, Lin Li stood up and said tremblingly: "I drank too much, I'm going to lie down for a while... you... when are you... leaving?"

Zhang Chaolun couldn't bear it, but still said: "Tomorrow's boat ticket."

Lin Li looked lonely for a moment, nodded, and said, "I'm going to lie down for a while. If I can't get up tomorrow... I won't give it away..."

Lin Li hunched over and walked into the room.

Ren Shixiu shouted with a choked voice: "Old Lu..."

Lin Li walked halfway and stopped. He raised his eyes, turned around, and looked at Yu'e expectantly.

In fact, the audience does not have a strong sense of position. This is a dead end. Yu'e and everyone will be miserable.

But when Lin Li turned around and looked at Ren Shixiu with a child-like longing in his eyes, all the audience suddenly hoped that Yu'e could stay!

Ren Shixiu's mouth opened with tears in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Li's eyes gradually dimmed, then he closed his eyes, waved to Ren Shixiu with the back of his hand, squeezed out a nice smile, then turned away sadly and turned away to go back to the room.

His leaving back was like a scar engraved in people's hearts, which made people feel pain.

Seeing this, Shi Wei and Li Chunhua from the directing team also burst into tears. Zhang Dasong felt a little uncomfortable but also very happy. Only Guo Xiaoshan frowned.

After Lin Li left, there was another scene between Zhang Chaolun and Ren Shixiu. The two chatted for a long time. In the end, Zhang Chaolun felt Ren Shixiu's desire to stay, so he chose to let go and left on his own initiative.

The video is over!

This time, when the film ended, there was no immediate burst of applause like other films. Instead, the first thing to be heard was the loud crying of a few girls scattered in the audience.

After hearing this cry, there was some laughter in the audience. After crying and laughing, the audience burst into extremely warm applause!
