The straight man in the entertainment circle

The time was soon approaching 20 o'clock, and the 500 spectators took their seats under the guidance of the staff.

The on-site director used a loudspeaker to announce:

"Everyone will scream when they see the star..."

"Be dedicated when watching a performance..."

"The show is so funny that you must laugh out loud..."

"If the show touches you, please feel free to cry..."

"We have six cameras facing the audience. If you perform well, we will let you be on TV, you know?"

…………

What they say is basically what the on-site director of each program will say to the audience.

The scene was a little noisy at first, but then it became quiet.

The actors backstage are all ready, and the four directors have just drawn lots for today's appearance order backstage.

The Li Chunhua group ranked first, followed by Shi Wei, Zhang Dasong, and finally the Guo Xiaoshan group.

It was getting closer and closer to the start of the live broadcast, and the on-site director started to give reminders with a countdown of 10 minutes from the start of the program.

Then there was a reminder with a countdown of 5 minutes.

Countdown to 1 minute.

Finally, the on-site director shouted: "The scene is quiet, all departments are preparing, the countdown to the live broadcast night of the "Big Show" finals...ten..."

"Nine……"

The audience was silent until the director shouted: "Start!"

The whole audience applauded.

Amid applause, tonight’s live broadcast begins!

Everything at the scene was broadcast live to thousands of households in China on television and the Internet.

Yi Zhuo and Liu Chun appeared on the stage hand in hand.

Yi Zhuo looked a little nervous, but fortunately Liu Chun was by his side, which made him feel more at ease.

Liu Chun is a host. Although she has been away from the hosting position for several years and has few opportunities to host such popular programs live, she still shows the qualities of a professional host and is confident and generous.

“Welcome to China’s first director casting competition reality show jointly sponsored by Xiaomushroom APP and Mimi Juice, produced by the China Film Association, Penguin Video and Blueberry Channel, "Starting the Show", I am the host Yi Zhuo."

This is the opening sentence that Yi Zhuo has to say in the previous episodes. Naturally, he speaks first this time, because Yi Zhuo is very familiar with this line, so it sounds very smooth.

"I am today's assistant host, Liu Chun." Liu Chun said after Yi Zhuo finished.

"Today is the last episode of our show and it also happens to be Mother's Day."

"Yes, on behalf of the program team, we would like to say Happy Holidays to all the mothers in the world!"

There was a round of applause.

Yi Zhuo said: "It's really fast. Today is the finals of the show. I didn't expect that I could host it for so long."

Liu Chun smiled and said: "I have been following this show. Brother Yi Zhuo, you host it very well."

"Those are all edited... There were a lot of mistakes on set. Didn't this live broadcast come to you? I'll leave it to you tonight."

After Yi Zhuo finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Liu Chun smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, brother Yi Zhuo needs help, of course I am obligated, but... I just want to ask brother Yi Zhuo, why don't so many good hosts invite me? Is it because they are here? Do you think my host is excellent?"

Yi Zhuo smiled and said, "That's because you are cheaper."

There was a burst of laughter.

These words have been corrected before. What we want is the on-site effect. Of course, they are all true.

After the two joked some more, they began to introduce tonight's process. After the introduction, they began to introduce the four directors.

The scene was naturally filled with cheers and screams.

Then, tonight's first set of performances officially began.

There was a large curtain behind the host, which was used to set up the scene. After Yi Zhuo and Liu Chun finished their introductions, the curtain opened.

Qin Zhensheng, Bu Xiaoting and Yu Yali appeared on the scene.

The audience actually screamed in cooperation.

The three of them, Qin Zhensheng, played a spy drama, and Qin Zhensheng played the role of the spy chief. The intelligence he received said that one of them, Bu Xiaoting and Yu Yali, was an underground intelligence agent.

So Qin Zhensheng wanted to use coercion and inducement to find out who among the two was the underground intelligence agent.

The three of them battled wits and courage, and in the end Bu Xiaoting deliberately exposed her flaws and was killed by Qin Zhensheng.

What Qin Zhensheng didn't expect was that Yu Yali was actually an underground intelligence agent. In the routine just now, Bu Xiaoting passed an important message to Yu Yali. Although Bu Xiaoting died, Yu Yali successfully brought out the information and finally reported it to Bu Xiaoting. Take revenge.

The short plot made everyone very immersed in it.

The show is over.

"Okay, we three actors have finished our performance. Please stand in the middle of the stage." Liu Chun and Yi Zhuo walked onto the stage.

"It's very interesting, but... is this the plot of a movie or TV series? Why haven't I seen it?" Yi Zhuo asked.

Qin Zhensheng said: "This script is one of the clips in director Li Chunhua's next movie. It is considered a brand new script."

"Oh, are you familiar with the characters in advance?" Liu Chun said.

Yu Yali said: "This... we have to wait for the final result. I still don't know if I can participate in the play directed by Li Chunhua?"

"Director Li, can you say a few words?" Liu Chun asked Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua smiled and said: "I think it's better to call the guests I invited today to speak."

Liu Chundao: "Okay, let me tell you, the director Li Chunhua invited today is the famous movie star Zhou Xun! We welcome him with applause!"

Many people at the scene did not pay attention to today's supporting guests. When they heard that Zhou Xun was coming to support, the screams suddenly became much louder.

Amid the screams and applause of everyone, Zhou Xun walked up.

Zhou Xun is a thin and frail man, not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall.

But once she stood on the stage, everyone's eyes were all on her.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Xun. I am very happy to receive the invitation from Director Li Chunhua to participate in this show. As everyone knows, I worked with Director Li Chunhua on my famous works. She is both a mentor and a friend to me..."

"I was really surprised to see how well the actors in Director Li Chunhua's crew performed today. I felt like I saw what I looked like when I was young..."

Zhou Xun looked at the three actors and said, "Come on, follow Director Li Chunhua. You will definitely learn a lot."

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, Liu Chun introduced the supporting guests to perform.

At this time, behind the curtain on the stage, the staff were working quickly to set up the scene for the next performance.

After the two supporting guests finished singing, it was the turn of the second group of actors directed by Shi Wei.

As before, after Ji Yi, Wang Kun and others finished their performances, Huang Xiao, the guest invited by Shi Wei, appeared.

"Brother Huang Xiao, you and Director Shi Wei are classmates, right?" Liu Chun asked.

"Yes, but she acted in "Flying Swallows" in her freshman year and became popular all over the country. I only acted in "Emperor" after graduation."

Huang Xiao also became an instant hit, and the drama "Emperor" was also a hit. Although it can't be compared with "Swallows Flying", it also brought Huang Xiao countless fans and attention back then.

"Director Shi Wei was so popular back then, how did you feel after watching it?" Liu Chun continued to ask.

"Of course I'm jealous, very jealous." Huang smiled and said, "But I'm also very happy for her."

Yi Zhuo should have asked next. Yi Zhuo gave Liu Chun a look and asked her to ask. Yi Zhuo took a small step back.

Liu Chun knew that Yi Zhuo was very nervous. He had been asking Liu Chun to say what he said in the audience because he was afraid of making mistakes.

Naturally, he couldn't give in on stage at this time, so Liu Chun had no choice but to continue asking: "Brother Huang Xiao, let me gossip again. After Director Shi Wei became famous, were there many suitors in the school?"

The audience at the scene became excited after hearing this gossip question.

Before Huang Xiao could say anything, Shi Wei coughed and reminded: "Well...be careful what you say..."

There was laughter.

Huang smiled and said: "Actually...as far as I know there is no such thing, because she is so famous that no boys in the school dare to chase her, including me..."

Huang Xiao has a crush on Shi Wei?

Regardless of the effect of the show or the real thing, the audience was very excited anyway.

Shi Wei listened and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The whole audience laughed again.

Huang Xiao then praised Ji Yi and others again, then came off the stage and sat with Shi Wei.

On the stage were performances by supporting guests.

After the backstage arrangements were completed, Chen Qingqing and Ren Shixiu from Zhang Dasong's group came on stage. In addition to them, four or five actors from Zhang Dasong's group also came on stage, obviously to assist in the performance.

Chen Qingqing and Ren Shixiu starred in a movie called "Women's Valley", which is the story of a group of female prisoners in a women's prison.

So they were all wearing prison uniforms.

The most outstanding role in this script was given to Chen Qingqing to Ren Shixiu because she had received Zhang Dasong's promise that she would have a role, so this time she gave the lead female role to Ren Shixiu.

Chen Qingqing, on the other hand, played a female prison bully, but she didn't have many roles and was not likable.

But during the performance, Chen Qingqing played the prison bully's tyranny very well, making everyone feel scared.

As expected of director Zhang Dasong, this final also produced the best script, which not only made Chen Qingqing and Ren Shixiu perform wonderfully, but also the performances of several assistant actors were also surprising.

At the end of the performance, there was warm applause, and the applause was also mixed with the voices of many people shouting Chen Qingqing's name.

"It's so exciting that I even shed tears." Liu Chun walked onto the stage with red eyes, "actors, please come over and say a few words."

Several actors walked onto the stage and each said a few words.

After several people finished speaking, Liu Chun once again motioned to Yi Zhuo to speak. Yi Zhuo picked up the card and handed it to Liu Chun, asking Liu Chun to speak for him.

Everyone burst into laughter. Now everyone has seen what it means to rush a duck to the shelves.

Liu Chun had no choice but to glance at the card in Yi Zhuo's hand and then made a small movement to ask Yi Zhuo to put away the card in his hand.

Liu Chun and Yi Zhuo had exchanged lyrics before, and Liu Chun roughly knew his lines.

"Director Zhang, your students have finished their performance, are you still satisfied?"

Zhang Dasong said: "I'm quite satisfied."

"We know that Director Zhang is famous for being strict. I have a question, that is, do you think the next Li Tong will appear among this group of people?" Liu Chun asked.

Zhang Dasong smiled and said: "This is not what I said. Why don't I ask Li Tong himself to answer your question."

After hearing this, the audience couldn't sit still.

Li Tong is here? !

Liu Chun glanced at Yi Zhuo, and the two shouted together: "Then please invite Li Tong to appear!"

The scene was filled with excitement and the sound was deafening.

Li Tong slowly walked up from the backstage amidst the cheers of everyone.

The students on the stage shook hands and hugged Li Tong excitedly. Finally, Li Tong stood next to Chen Qingqing and held her hand.

Yi Zhuo and Liu Chun naturally shook hands with Li Tong, and then said, "Sister Li Tong, did you hear Director Zhang's question just now?"

Li Tong smiled and said: "I heard it, you ask who among these people can become the next Li Tong, right?"

"right."

"No."

Li Tong said firmly.

The domineering presence in Li Tong's body and the confidence in his voice made everyone present marvel in admiration.

When Li Tong said this, he seemed to be disrespecting the students, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with his words. For a moment, both Yi Zhuo and Liu Chun were caught off guard.

"But, the first Chen Qingqing among them will come out in the future."

Li Tong suddenly added this sentence.

Only then did everyone understand what Li Tong meant. They don't need to be the next Li Tong, they just need to be the first themselves.

And Li Tong only talked about Chen Qingqing, which shows that in Li Tong's heart, only Chen Qingqing can compare with her in the future, and others may not be qualified.

Everyone understands this, but in fact, the only person on the stage that Li Tong can name is Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing had acted in clips from Li Tong's previous movies in previous shows. At that time, her performance conquered everyone. Zhang Dasong also saw the shadow of Li Tong when he was young in Chen Qingqing.

Compared with Li Tong, Chen Qingqing's advantages and disadvantages are all due to her face.

Chen Qingqing is much prettier than Li Tong, which has a certain impact on the character creation, because being too beautiful will distract the audience's attention.

Chen Qingqing's appearance determines that she will not lose to the young Li Tong in terms of popularity.

Zhang Dashong recommended Chen Qingqing to Li Tong at that time, and Li Tong watched some clips of Chen Qingqing's programs and liked them very much. She even praised Chen Qingqing directly on her Weibo.

This matter has also been a hot search topic.

After watching Chen Qingqing's acting skills live today, Li Tong fell in love with her even more.

Hearing Li Tong say that Chen Qingqing can be compared with her in the future, the whole audience and the audience in front of the TV were excited.

The Chinese actress has a successor!

This is also a huge affirmation for Chen Qingqing's fans, enough to shut up all those who say Chen Qingqing is a vase.

"Wow, it seems that Sister Li Tong has a high opinion of our Chen Qingqing. It seems that she likes her very much, right?" Liu Chun said.

"Yes, I like her very much and can't wait to see the movie she stars in." Li Tong said with a smile.

"Chen Qingqing, Sister Li Tong speaks so highly of you, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Chun looked at Chen Qingqing enviously. At this time, she received even more attention than Li Tong.

Chen Qingqing took the microphone and suddenly looked backstage. At this time, Lin Li was preparing to take the stage.

When Lin Li saw Chen Qingqing looking at him, he immediately understood what she meant.

Li Tong mentioned that she wanted to watch a movie starring Chen Qingqing. Chen Qingqing wanted to tell her about starring in Lin Li's movie, but she knew that she would need Lin Li's consent.

Lin Li understood Chen Qingqing's thoughts immediately, which surprised him. When did he understand women so well?

What Lin Li immediately thought of was the idiom "hearts and souls are connected"...

Lin Li nodded towards Chen Qingqing, indicating that she could speak.

Chen Qingqing turned back and said: "Thank you very much for Sister Li Tong's appreciation. I also hope that one day I can be as successful as her. Well, as for Sister Li Tong saying she wants to see a movie starring me, I think I can see it soon."

Li Tong was stunned and said, "Director Zhang's movie is about to be filmed, but it won't be that soon."

Li Tong, like everyone else, felt that Chen Qingqing had already got the role of Director Zhang, and if he wanted to see her movie, he would have to wait for a long time.

But Chen Qingqing said that he would see it soon, which inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Then I'll take this opportunity to announce that Lin Li has invited me to star in a movie directed by him, which is expected to be released this summer."

Chen Qingqing stood on the field with a bright smile. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that even if Li Tong was there, everyone's eyes would still be attracted to Chen Qingqing!

Li Tong's strong aura was completely eliminated by Chen Qingqing's smile.

In everyone’s impression, Li Tong has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and this seems to be the first time he has encountered this kind of situation...
