Chapter 553: Recording Begins!
"He Xiao, wake up, you're on the hot search!"
In his sleep, he heard a voice whispering in his ear in a daze, He Xiaoba chirped his mouth, and opened his eyes worriedly.
"Brother Xiao, you're on the hot search!"
As soon as he turned his head, there was really someone pushing him in reality, it was Shi Da Hammer, I don't know when he came into the room, and he was standing at the head of the bed.
He Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the resolute face full of "philosophical β" atmosphere, and he was frightened.
"Sledgehammer, how did you get in?"
"Brother Xiao, you were on the hot search last night, and there was a lot of noise on the Internet, Mr. Yu couldn't get through to your phone, and Sister Ya couldn't contact you, so I had to let me come in directly this morning to wake you up. β
Shi Dazhui touched the square head and reported to He Xiao.
Only then did He Xiao understand that he really slept to death last night, and his mobile phone was adjusted to DND mode, so it was no wonder that other people were in it.
At the same time, he was also a little curious, rubbed his head and said, "Why am I on the hot search again?"
Shi Da Hammer spread his hands, "I don't know, it seems to be because of the program team." β
"Alright, sledgehammer, you go out first, I'm spirited. β
He Xiao waved his hand, threw the stone sledgehammer out, then washed his face, sat on the sofa in the suite, drank hot water, and turned on his mobile phone to look at it.
Sure enough, there were a lot of missed calls, all of which were from Yu Xiao, and there were a few Zhang Ya's.
He Xiao didn't reply in a hurry, he wanted to figure out what was going on first, so he opened the Internet and started surfing.
After browsing, I couldn't help laughing, I don't know if I should be happy that my popularity is too high or netizens are too idle, participating in a "The Birth of an Actor" will cause such a storm.
After thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, his previous image had always been a singer, and some netizens would naturally be uncomfortable with his transformation.
It is inevitable that there will be doubts, even if he filmed "Battle" and "Charlotte Troubles" to prove himself, but his opponent is an actor like An Cheng who has already won awards, and the mentors are all respected old-timers in the entertainment industry.
And if He Xiao really has acting skills, even if he loses the game on the stage, the audience will admire him, because the crowd is not blind.
Yu Xiao called him to ask him what to do and whether he should let the team do public relations.
After thinking about it, He Xiao said that he didn't need it, he felt that this was not a problem, wasn't it just questioned by the audience? Or he was worried that he was going the wrong way, afraid that he would put the cart before the horse, so he would prove himself.
If He Xiao hadn't been thrown into the world of "Embroidered Spring Knife" by a black mobile phone before he was honed, he might have really hesitated when he encountered this, and maybe he might have temporarily quit the show, because he knew how much there was a gap between his acting skills and An Cheng, and now the national audience is waiting to see the joke, and he will definitely become a joke, so why doesn't he quit the game?
But now, He Xiao thinks that he doesn't need to worry about his acting skills, he has completely mastered the role of eunuchs, and naturally he will not be knocked down by gossip.
So he not only has to participate in "The Birth of an Actor", but also participates beautifully!
After replying to Yu Xiao's message, she also called Zhang Ya, signaling that she didn't have to worry about herself.
And then...... The guy lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
"The Birth of an Actor" only started filming in the afternoon, and the time was extremely abundant, and He Xiao planned to nourish his spirits, so he made up for it again.
At noon, I had a takeaway meal at the hotel, and at one o'clock, I took a shower, cleaned up my appearance, and set off for the scene at two o'clock.
When I arrived at the gymnasium at half past two to report, there was a busy scene in front of me, everyone was running, carrying props, taking scripts, setting up the venue, checking the line, and there was no one who was not busy.
Director Zheng Xia was wearing a vest and was standing in the crowd to command, shouting in an orderly manner: "The camera crew will check the equipment again one last time! I don't want to make the mistake last time! The props team and the props team will wipe all the props used in the first performance clean for me, remember to put the sponsor's logo in a conspicuous place when setting the set!
Commanding a large-scale variety show is a very worrying thing, and even more so when filming starts, the scene is chaotic, Zheng Xia can only shuttle in it herself, sometimes in a hurry, and even shouts out her hometown.
Wang Shi, as an assistant director and producer, will also help with the work, he has experienced the battle before the filming of "The Voice of Dreams", and naturally knows the bitterness of the director behind it, so he took the initiative to help this college classmate share a lot.
He Xiao ignored the riot at the front desk, he hurried through the stage set and came to the backstage to make preparations before going on the stage.
"Teacher He, please follow me. β
When he came to the stadium, some staff had already noticed him and led him directly to the backstage dressing room.
When filming variety shows, regardless of whether the artist wears makeup or not, when he arrives at the local program team, he has to go through it again, and then let him go on camera after making sure that there is no problem.
He Xiao is an old variety show guest, and he understands these processes, so he went to the dressing room.
The dressing room is still quite busy, except for He Xiao, An Cheng and Shu Tingting are all doing styling, and He Xiao also saw a task that he had only seen on TV before.
The man was in his forties, his appearance was full of righteousness, he sat tall on a chair and asked the makeup artist to put on makeup, and his shiny suit showed that he was not a guest who came to perform today.
"Teacher He is here, wait a minute, I'll give you the makeup after I finish giving Teacher Zhang Ming. β
The young lady who was putting on makeup on the man's face looked back and saw He Xiao, and couldn't help but explain.
The man who was wearing makeup glanced at He Xiao who was standing beside him, and said, "You are He Xiao, you are really young!"
"Teacher Zhang has won the award. When the other party talked to him, He Xiao didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly waved his hand modestly.
This man who is putting on makeup, his name is Zhang Ming, he is an old drama bone, he has won the actor and the emperor, and he is an old drama bone.
He Xiao usually only saw him on TV, but it was the first time for him to be a real person, so he couldn't help but be a little curious: "Teacher Zhang, you are also a contestant who came to participate in the show?"
It stands to reason that with Zhang Ming's status, it should be about the same as Yi Guangyuan, or even higher, if he participates in the show as a contestant, it will be too low, and it will be almost the same as a mentor.
Zhang Ming laughed when he heard it, and said: "I've been acting for decades, how can I be 'born'? If it's a contestant, it has to be the rebirth of an actor!"
A group of people couldn't help laughing when they heard it, and An Cheng accosted him on the side: "He Xiao, Mr. Zhang is the host invited by the program team." β
He Xiao suddenly realized that the crew of "The Birth of an Actor" is really similar to the tone in "Black Phone", and even the host has to find a senior actor in the circle to make a cameo, and the host in the parallel world should be Mr. Zhang Guoli if he remembers correctly.
And in his own world, it is Mr. Zhang Ming, who is a respected old actor with a certain degree of persuasion in the circle.
If a man's appearance is better than that of an actress, it is nothing more than trimming his eyebrows and making up for some no-makeup cream, which will be solved in a short time.
After Zhang Ming finished putting on makeup, he made room for He Xiao, praised him for his youth and achievements in the tone of an elder, and left the dressing room to go to the front desk to familiarize himself with the venue.
"He Xiao, the flying fish suit is not easy to wear, I will go to the changing room and wait for you first. β
After An Cheng finished putting on makeup, he patted He Xiao's shoulder to explain the situation.
"Cheng, I'll look for you in a while. He Xiao nodded.
Unlike other actors, their script is a costume drama, so they have very high requirements for costume styling, originally according to the meaning of the crew, in addition to ordering a set of flying fish suits for An Cheng, they also made a set of silver Dongchang official uniforms for He Xiao, which looked a little more majestic, but was rejected by He Xiao.
He has his own opinions on styling.
"Teacher He, it's done. β
Ten minutes later, the little girl with makeup next to him smiled at He Xiao, he glanced in the mirror, and in the picture, he had a face with vicissitudes of life, and his gray hair was scattered in a shawl, which was naturally a wig.
"It's all done according to your requirements, what do you think?"
"It's just right, thank you. β
He Xiao was quite satisfied, and fiddled with the wig of the shawl, making him more messy, and he really felt a little like fleeing.
The only time he disobeyed was that the leather jacket and jeans he wore didn't quite match the hairstyle of the ancients.
......
When He Xiao rushed to the changing room, An Cheng had already changed his clothes, wearing a black flying fish suit, carrying an embroidered spring knife around his waist, and wearing a high hat, he was really majestic and worthy of being a professional costume actor.
"How is it, handsome, do you regret playing the eunuch?" An Cheng winked at He Xiao and said with a smile.
"Brother An, this dress can only be worn by your figure, I can't hold it up. He Xiao shook his head, and by the way, he said a beautiful word and held the other party's hand, which made his heart feel good.
And He Xiao also found the dress he wanted in a pile of costumes at this time, a plain white cloth shirt, he put it on his body, and with his gray and white messy hairstyle, the feeling of being chased and killed for months came out all of a sudden.
This look is actually the costume of Mr. Jin Shijie in the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" in the black mobile phone.
For a young man in his twenties, this style is obviously a little inappropriate, but after He Xiao tried to think about a lot of styles, he found that it was more dramatic, or this outfit was more in line with the image of the original work.
And in stark contrast to the neatly and mighty An Cheng, it can impress the audience even more.
So after communicating with the crew, he insisted on his idea of appearing in this image.
The effect is really good, but after He Xiao changed his clothes, An Cheng was a little surprised.
With white hair scattered and a plain white coat, the former commander of Dongchang, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, is long gone, and all that is left in front of him is a chaotic minister and thief who is busy fleeing.
I felt the bits.
"You really have a good eye, the flying fish suit on me is not fragrant all of a sudden. β
An Cheng put one hand on the hilt of the sword, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time.
"Brother An, don't laugh at me, I'm all like this, what a fragrance. β
He Xiao continued to maintain the principle of retreating as advance, and let An Cheng say.
The reason why he did this was because He Xiao had a feeling that he would win today's game very beautifully, and An Cheng was depressed after losing the game.
That's not how to be a man, He Xiao doesn't want to be full of enemies in the circle, so he has always been a low-key person, even if he knows in his heart that I am hotter than you and I am more popular than you, he doesn't show it.
In the adult world, how can there be so much sincerity.
Hypocrisy is a must-have skill.
"Two teachers, the show is about to start, let's go back to the lounge and watch the show. β
Just as the two were chatting with each other, a staff member pushed the door and called the two to the lounge.
The reason why I watched the show was because He Xiao and An Cheng were arranged to appear in the second place, so they didn't have to wait at the front desk in too much hurry.
Another reason is that there are cameras in the lounge, and the footage of the guests watching other people's performances is also recorded and edited into the show.
The two said yes and went back to the lounge together.
When you pass by the front desk, you can faintly hear the sound coming from the auditorium.
......
At this time, the front desk.
The show is about to start recording, and all the equipment has been commissioned.
The audience also entered the venue fifteen minutes ago, a total of 300 people, like the singers, all selected audiences from all over the country, there are people of every age, and the proportion is very balanced, which also ensures that the audience will not be too biased when voting.
After all, the audience group is too unified, and the number of votes must be a one-sided situation, for example, if you find a bunch of students to be the audience, the votes will inevitably be collectively tilted towards artists such as Xiao Xianrou and Xiao Huadan.
In the same way, they are all post-70s and post-80s audiences, and the old actors have an advantage.
Equalizing the audience is one of the effective means to ensure the fairness of the program.
in the audience.
"Where's seat 12? Dude, are you sitting in the wrong seat?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. β
"Hehe, I've finally grabbed the qualification!"
"I've been looking forward to this show for a long time!"
"Yes, I think this show is for drama fans, it's heaven!"
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm coming with Xiao Ji. β
"I just want to know, what script will He Xiao play in this episode?"
"Why don't you start yet?"
In the first five minutes of the show, the atmosphere of tension and excitement reached its extreme, and the audience was chaotic.
At the front of the audience, the three chairs in the instructor's seat are still vacant.
The countdown to the last three minutes.
The three mentors finally showed up, and in the excited applause and shouts of the audience, they each boarded the mentor seat.
Immediately, Zhang Ming, who was in charge of serving as the host, also appeared on the stage in a suit and leather shoes, his face was expressionless, and he was looking down at the script.
When there was still half a minute left in the countdown, an assistant came to the stage to take back Zhang Ming's manuscript and hurriedly walked off the stage, and the staff also began to control the volume of the audience, and the entire recording scene suddenly fell silent.
"Attention to all parts, the first episode of the first season of "The Birth of an Actor", the countdown to the start of filming. β

As the voice of the chief director Zheng Xia came out loudly in the walkie-talkie, all the lights of the entire recording site were turned on in an instant, and the camera also lit up the work lights for the first time, and an aerial camera surrounded the audience and recorded a panoramic shot.
"The Birth of an Actor", the recording officially begins!
