Chapter 3: Suddenly I don't want to work hard
Time is in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the recording of the first episode of "National Style Boy", and there is only half an hour left before the official recording of the show.
In front of the dressing room next to the fifth studio, Hua Ning paced anxiously, looking to the sides from time to time.
"It's coming, I'm coming, Sister Hua!"
Just when Hua Ning was in a hurry, Li Zi'an ran towards her panting.
When Hua Ning saw Li Zi'an, he hurriedly greeted him: "Li Zi'an, what time is it, there is less than half an hour left before the official recording of the show, you ......"
"Sister Hua is discouraged!" Li Zi'an took Hua Ning's arm and said with a smile on his face: "There is a little delay, besides, there are a total of sixteen players, and I am ranked ninth, and there is still plenty of time!"
When Hua Ning heard this, Li Zi'an rolled his eyes angrily: "Forget it, hurry up and go in for makeup and hair styling, and the director team may send someone to check it later!"
Li Zi'an nodded frequently and followed Hua Ning into the lounge.
The lounge is very large, and there are also a lot of people in it, and the lounge is shared by almost five players, plus some players also bring their own assistants or agents, which makes the originally spacious lounge a little narrow.
Li Zi'an walked into the lounge, and the eyes of many people in the room converged on him, but these eyes were almost fleeting, and their eyes were extremely indifferent, they all knew Li Zi'an as a person, and they also all knew what Li Zi'an's position was by the program team.
Cannon fodder only!
It's just a stepping stone to a gimmick!
What about once brilliantly?
After today, I'm afraid this person will never turn over again!
In the face of everyone's indifference, Li Zi'an's heart did not fluctuate, now he only has the idea of making money in his head, and everything else is floating clouds, after all, for a person whose life is about to die, other people's opinions are insignificant at all.
Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Huaning called CCTV's exclusive makeup artists and stylists over and asked them to give Li Zi'an makeup and hair according to the requirements of the program team.
"Eh, why are your child's dark circles so heavy?" The makeup artist was about the same age as Hua Ning, and when she saw Li Zi'an's face clearly, she couldn't help but say in surprise.
When Li Zi'an heard this, he prevaricated: "The pressure is a bit high, the insomnia has been a little serious in the past few days, I'm sorry, I may have to bother you more." ”
Seeing that Li Zi'an was so polite, the makeup artist thought of the rumors in the group, plus she was a woman, she couldn't help but feel some pity for Li Zi'an in her heart, and sighed lightly: "If you feel sleepy, you can squint for a while, it won't affect your makeup and hair." ”
Li Zi'an thanked him, then really closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He is so tired these days, he sleeps no more than five hours a day on average, and yesterday he went back and forth between CCTV and the hotel, and the time was all occupied by rehearsals and code words, and even the rice was gnawed bread.
The novel "Sadness Flows into a River" is 240,000 words, and he wants to write it in two days, that is to say, he has to write 120,000 words a day, although he is only responsible for typing out the words in his mind, but it is not a simple thing to type 120,000 words a day, not to mention that he still has rehearsals, meetings and other things to do every day.
Li Zi'an quickly took a nap, and when he woke up again, there were only a few people left in the lounge, and it was Aunt Huaning who woke him up.
"The recording of the show has begun, and now it's the fourth contestant to appear, you change your costume and go to the studio to prepare!" Hua Ning said softly.
Li Zi'an nodded, although he only slept for a few dozen minutes, but for him, it was no less than a rain from the sky, and his mind only felt much clearer.
Shaking his neck, Li Zi'an looked at himself in front of the makeup mirror, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
It's been almost three days since he crossed into this world, but under the pressure of his life hanging by a thread, he really has never looked carefully at his current skin.
And now, after makeup and hair styling, Li Zi'an looked at himself in the mirror, and he had to sigh narcissistically: How handsome!
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and delicate facial features, fair skin, angular face, and dark eyes make it quite manly.
"Huh?"
"With my face, it should be easy for a rich woman to maintain, right?"
"Suddenly I don't feel like I want to work hard?!"
Li Zi'an tilted his head, and many strange thoughts suddenly popped up in his head, but soon he threw these strange thoughts out of his mind, after all, it was not yet to the point of exhaustion, and he still wanted to struggle again.
Without thinking about it anymore, Li Zi'an stood up from the chair, saw the two cans of energy drinks in front of him, he directly raised his head and drank them all, then turned around and followed Hua Ning to change into his performance costume.
......
CCTV Studio 5.
Director's Office.
Most of the members of the director team of "National Style Boy" are here, looking condescendingly at the studio below, performing their duties, so that the whole program is carried out in an orderly manner.
The chief director of the program is named Lu Leshan, and the executive director is named Shi Liang, both of whom are directors of CCTV TV, and they usually have a good personal relationship.
"The level of the top seven contestants is okay, but the really outstanding one is that Jiang Mengting's song and dance performance "Returning to the Coming and Going" is above the level, and the rest is not very interesting. Lu Leshan hugged his shoulders and said with a frown.
Shi Liang, who was standing beside Lu Leshan, said with a smile: "After all, they are all children under the age of 20, how amazing can you expect them to be, you are too demanding." ”
"This is going to be broadcast simultaneously in many countries in Southeast Asia, low quality is low quality, and people will not consider age at that time!" Lu Leshan said in a serious tone, then looked at Shi Liang and said in a low voice: "You are the executive director, all the programs are controlled by you, and the poor quality of the contestants' performances is directly related to you!"
Shi Liang and Lu Leshan have been friends for many years, and they can't understand Lu Leshan's old-fashioned temperament anymore, and they know that he is right about things and not people, but he is still a little unhappy.
"Old Lu, wait and see, soon you won't say that, and what I want to say is that in the past, you always thought you had a good eye, but this time, you are blind!" Shi Liang patted Lu Leshan's shoulder and said a little mysteriously.
"I'm out of sight?"
Lu Leshan's brows furrowed again, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what Shi Liang meant, and when he wanted to ask, Shi Liang directly turned his head over and ignored him.
......
Backstage, Li Zi'an stood behind the curtain and secretly looked down.
At the recording site, there were many audiences in the audience, many of whom were family members of CCTV TV staff, or CCTV outsourced staff.
The stage is huge, and the lights are much brighter than yesterday's rehearsal.
The contestant in front of Li Zi'an has finished performing and is being commented on by the judges on the stage at this time.
"National Style Boy" has four judges, named Gao Baisong, Feng Yueqiu, Zhang Junhao and Bai Jingyun.
Gao Baisong, a famous Chinese director, screenwriter, producer, and musician, is known for his erudition, and is among the second-tier stars in China, and is also the chief judge of this show.
Feng Yueqiu, a professor at the School of Dance of Huaxia University of the Arts, has a deep knowledge of classical dance and folk dance, and is not a star, but his status should not be underestimated.
Zhang Junhao, a famous Chinese singer, is among the third-tier stars.
Bai Jingyun, a professor at the School of Music of Huaxia University of the Arts, has a deep knowledge of classical musical instruments, and has the same status as Feng Yueqiu.
Judging from the lineup of judges, it can be regarded as a relatively luxurious and professional lineup in China.
The program competition system is a scoring and elimination system, after each contestant performs, the jury will score it on the spot, and the last 16 contestants will be ranked according to the scores, and the last two contestants will be eliminated in each episode of the show.
Soon, the players in front of Li Zi'an were scored by the judges, and finally got a score of 7.8 points, ranking in the middle of the current many players.
The host stepped forward and began to announce the scene.
When he reported the curtain and mentioned Li Zi'an's former identity, the audience suddenly caused a commotion.
The head of the X4 Youth League before its debut?!
You must know that the current head of the X4 Youth League ranks first on the third-tier list, and maybe when the second-tier list opens next time, the other party will be on the second-tier list and become the youngest second-tier star in China!
In such a comparison, many viewers in the audience were very curious about Li Zi'an, who was about to appear, after all, although the eight players before Li Zi'an were also famous, they were obviously incomparable with Li Zi'an's identity background.
"Hehe, the higher you hold it, the worse you fall!"
"Originally, there was still some time before I appeared, but in order to see Li Zi'an's good show, I came here on purpose!"
"Hehe, do you think he will hang on the stage?"
Li Zi'an stood quietly on the side of the stage, ignoring the criticism whispered behind him.
At this time, Li Zi'an is quite calm, not nervous or afraid, compared with the pressure of life and death, what is it to perform in front of everyone?
The heart became more and more peaceful, and at this moment, the host on the stage also finished the curtain, and the stage slowly darkened......
