"Okay, whatever you say is what!" Chen Qiuyue said with a smile, "I heard from Mr. Ke yesterday that you have a lot of freedom in the show in the past two days, and Director Meng said that you are allowed to do whatever you want, and you can even take the students out of the base to eat!"

"I heard again?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Senior sister, you've heard a lot of things!"

"I just love to inquire, what's wrong?" Chen Qiuyue wrinkled her nose and said, "Don't you know that women are born to gossip?"

"Oh!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"You let your team members go back to rest, why are you sitting here alone?" Chen Qiuyue said again.

"They have a dormitory, you can go back to rest, and I don't have a dormitory, so I can't go back to the hotel, right?" Xiao Yao said, "At that time, you didn't come, and I was alone when I went to the observation room, and no one talked to me, so I stayed here to watch the rehearsals of the newcomers from other groups." ”

"Know the opponent's situation?" Chen Qiuyue said with a smile, "You also said that you don't care!"

"Whether they're good or not, I'm not going to bring my group back together to rehearse, and knowing about them won't have any impact on our group's performance. Xiao Yao pointed to the stage, "It's just curiosity and boredom and nowhere to go, so stay and take a look." ”

"Okay, then I'm also curious and bored, I'll watch it with you!" Chen Qiuyue hugged her arms and leaned back on the back of the seat.

"You're not going to other people's rehearsal rooms?" Xiao Yao said.

"Going to the rehearsal room to watch them rehearse is not what the program team requires us to do, and there are already seniors doing it. Chen Qiuyue said, "I think it's also a good choice to sit here secretly and watch their rehearsals." Anyway, it's not that there are no shots and materials. As she spoke, Chen Qiuyue pointed to the camera facing them in the corner.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao glanced in the direction Chen Qiuyue pointed and nodded.

The two stopped chatting and watched the rehearsals of the newcomers on the stage. However, the two did not stop talking, and after the rehearsal of each group, the two would still comment and exchange some views on the rehearsal performance of the new actors.

Rehearsals for the six groups were conducted separately. When all six groups had completed their stage rehearsals, it was almost time for dinner.

This time, Xiao Yao didn't go to the student restaurant again, but Ke Jun and the other three had dinner together. After dinner, it's time to prepare for the official recording of the big test.

The big assessment is a stage performance, and there is a live audience, which can also be regarded as a public performance. However, unlike the group idol development program the year before, this program did not arrange a separate performance stage, but was held in the studio of this filming base.

The live audience of the performance was drawn from the online audience who voted for these new actors on Qiqu.com, so these audiences are basically fans of these new actors. Since they are fans, they naturally have some support. So even though the performance was held in the studio of the filming base, the program team still held an entrance ceremony.

When the rookie actors walked across the red carpet in groups in uniform uniforms, the fans outside the red carpet were very enthusiastic, cheering and screaming one after another. The rookie actors were also very happy, and some even improvised a small performance on the red carpet at the request of fans.

Since the performance is a big assessment, not only Ke Jun and other recruiters and newcomer actors participated, but also the professional teachers of the program team also had to watch the scoring on the spot. Under the arrangement of the program team, these professional teachers walked the red carpet like the rookie actors.

The scene of the teachers walking the red carpet is different from that of the new actors. Although the fans outside the red carpet are all fans of the rookie actors, not the fans of these teachers, but when the professional teachers walk on the red carpet, the enthusiasm of the fans outside the red carpet is no less than when the rookie actors leave, but these fans are not shouting the names of the rookie actors or professional teachers, but shouting "Thank you, teacher", "Teacher has worked hard" and so on. This kind of shouting also made those teachers very happy.

In addition to the above two groups, there are two groups of people who want to walk the red carpet. One group is Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo, and Chen Qiuyue, the three star recruiters, and the other group is the six directors of this stage play.

Due to the big gap between Xiao Yao's popularity and popularity and the other five full-time or mainly behind-the-scenes directors, under the strong recommendation and requirements of Xiao Yao himself, the program team finally arranged these two groups of people together, and three recruiters walked the red carpet with six directors.

There are three star hosts and actors, Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue, and there are more voices among fans shouting the names of these three people, which makes the difference between the fame of Xiao Yao and the other five directors reflected on the scene look less obvious.

Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo, and Chen Qiuyue have to host on the stage, and there are also tasks of commenting and cross-talking in the middle, Xiao Yao's identity is different from the three of them, and the tasks are also different, so he broke up with the three of them after entering the studio, and went to the lounge of his group of new actors, stayed with his team members, watched them do styling, and cheered them on by the way.

Xiao Yao is the director of this stage performance and does not participate in the performance, so he does not have to wait in the lounge with the new actors, but is arranged in the audience as a star audience. In other words, Xiao Yao has not always stayed with these rookie actors.

When it was almost eight o'clock, a staff member knocked on the door of the lounge of Xiao Yao's group of rookie actors, came in and said to Xiao Yao: "Teacher Xiao, the director asked me to inform you that you are ready to appear!"

"Okay, I'll come right away!" Xiao Yao stood up and nodded to the staff member, and said to the six rookie actors in the group, "I'm leaving, come on!"

"Director, if we perform well this time and get good results, such as winning the first place, is there any reward?" asked Wang Jiayi.

"What reward do you want?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Would you like to reward each of you with a big bag of snacks?"

"I hate it, you know that I am easy to gain weight, and you still give snacks as a reward!" Wang Jiayi said.

"Jiayi wants to ask, if we perform well, do we have the opportunity to act with you or act under you, that is, you will play a role in the play as a director?"

"My film and television projects will also be auditioned openly. Xiao Yao smiled, "In the long run, as long as you continue to be actors, no matter whether you perform well or not this time, you will have the opportunity to join my crew to act." But in the near term, I don't think you will have much of a chance for at least half a year. ”

"Why?" Wang Jiayi asked, "Won't you be filming for the next half a year?"

"On the contrary, I'll be starting a new show soon. Xiao Yao said, "But, first, this time I'm not a director, just an actor." Second, the project was approved very early, and the crew is already in preparation, and the casting auditions will begin soon. Unless your performance is very poor in this assessment and you will be eliminated from this show tomorrow, you should not be able to catch up with the casting audition for this TV drama project. ”

"Ah~" Wang Jiayi exclaimed in disappointment.

"Okay, there will be a chance in the future, you better focus on tonight's performance!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Don't any of you tell me that you are going to mess up this performance and let yourself be eliminated, so that you can catch up with my crew audition!

"No, director!" all six of them said, "This rehearsal is so hard, we must perform well!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded, "But if you can really win the first place, there will still be a reward! In a few days, my movie will premiere, and when the time comes, I will help you ask Director Meng for leave and invite you to attend the movie premiere. ”

"Really?" said the six happily, "Thank you, Director!"

"Okay, come on, play well!" Xiao Yao shook his fist at them and followed the staff to the entrance of the passage to wait.

According to the process, Ke Jun and the other three appeared on the stage, and after the opening remarks, they introduced the six directors as special guests and audiences. When Xiao Yao came to the waiting area at the entrance of the backstage passage, Ke Jun and the other five directors were already here, just waiting for Xiao Yao to come.

"I'm sorry, I'm late!" After Xiao Yao arrived, he bowed slightly and apologized to everyone.

"It's the rookie actors in your group who don't want you to go, right?" laughed a stage director.

These five directors are mainly engaged in behind-the-scenes work, and they know that Xiao Yao, a star idol director who combines singers, actors, directors, and various identities in front of and behind the scenes, is different from them in the eyes of newcomer actors. Before they came to this show, they knew that Xiao Yao was among the six directors this time, and they were fully mentally prepared for this, so they didn't mind at this time, but were in the mood to make fun of Xiao Yao.

"It's okay, the recorded show, the time is not so stuck!" Ke Jun smiled and waved his hand.

"Teacher Ke, everyone has arrived, let's start!" reminded the staff on the side.

"Okay!" Ke Jun nodded, adjusting his expression and breathing slightly.

In the studio, the lights above and behind the stage changed, and the audience cheered loudly. With a burst of majestic music, a background wall behind the stage slowly rose, and Ke Jun, Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue walked out from behind the background wall and stood on the stage. Seeing the three of them appear, the cheers of the audience were a little louder.

The music stopped, and the voices of the audience also became quieter, and Ke Jun, who was standing in the middle of the three, first said: "Thank you to the audience for coming to the stage performance of "The Character of an Actor", I am Ke Jun, the actor recruiter!"

"I'm actor recruiter Kim Wen-bo!"

"I'm actor recruiter Chen Qiuyue!"

Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue continued.

"In the past two days, our rookie actors have gone through casting, auditions, script reading, rehearsals, and today we will bring their work to everyone!" Ke Jun introduced.

"Here, we would like to give special thanks to the six directors who guided our new actors in the rehearsal of these six stage plays!" Kim said.

"They are also here today, let's invite them out with warm applause!" Chen Qiuyue finally pointed to the rear.

"Wow~" There was a warm applause at the scene.

In the applause of the audience, the three hosts retreated to the side of the stage, and the six directors walked up to the stage from the rear together.

"Is that Xiao Yao?" someone in the audience wondered.

Since the audience was selected from the netizens who voted this time, the program team did not need to rely on Xiao Yao's popularity to sell tickets, so the news that Xiao Yao was one of the directors of the stage play this time was not announced in advance by the program team. Although Xiao Yao walked on the red carpet before, not all the audience stayed outside the red carpet to support, not everyone saw Xiao Yao, and even if they saw Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao walked with Ke Jun and others, and some fans thought that Xiao Yao was a special guest or something, and they didn't necessarily think that Xiao Yao was one of the stage directors who guided the new actors.

"First of all, please introduce yourself!" Ke Jun waved his hand to the six.

"Hello everyone, I'm...", one of the directors took the microphone and began to introduce himself, while a large photo of him and some of his masterpieces were shown on the big screen behind him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao said.

"Wow~"

"Ah~"

"Xiao Yao!"

"Xiao Yao!"

When the directors introduced themselves before, there was just a burst of applause at the scene, and when they arrived at Xiao Yao, there was an exclamation at the scene, followed by a scream, and then the audience of the blockbuster shouted Xiao Yao's name in unison.

But there's no way around it. When he walked the red carpet before, Xiao Yao had already tried his best to "hide" himself between Ke Jun and the three, and at this time, introducing the director, Xiao Yao couldn't "hide" anymore. Fortunately, the other five directors were mentally prepared for this situation, and they still smiled and didn't seem to care.

"I want to ask, Xiao Yao, why are you here?" Ke Jun said to Xiao Yao.

"Teacher Ke means to say, how did you get into the director's team?" Chen Qiuyue continued, "Shouldn't you stand here as a star senior like me and Wenbo seniors?"

"Because I'm a director!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Animation director? I know you've made an animated film called 'Wall-E,' and I love it!" Kim said.

"Actually, it's not just animated movies!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The first time I became a director, I made a live-action short film called "The Tuner"!"

"Self-directed and self-acted, and has also won awards at famous short film festivals abroad. Ke Jun added.

"So powerful?" Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue were both surprised.

Jin Wenbo and Chen Qiuyue's surprise was faked, but some of the directors next to them really showed a surprised look. This short film was already a work five years ago, and it won the award four years ago, which is relatively long, and the influence of the short film is still relatively small, so there are really people among these directors who don't know that Xiao Yao's directorial works have won awards abroad.

"Then the year before last I co-directed a live-action feature film, which was released last year. Xiao Yao continued, "And last year, I directed a movie "Donkey Gets Water", which is now in theaters!

"By the way, I just said that it was being screened, and I was talking about the audience who watched the show when it aired. Xiao Yao said again, "My movie will be released on the 28th of this month, and when the time comes, please go to the theater to support!"

"Oh~" The audience cheered.

"So the reason you're here is because you have a movie coming out?" Ke Jun said with a smile, "Every time a new movie is on the show, your way of advertising and promoting is really set in stone!"
