Chapter 134: Amateur Recording
The first two episodes of "I Am an Actor" are amateur sessions, and these two episodes are characterized as "prequels" and broadcast on the Internet, and 8 winners will be selected to participate in the main competition of "I Am an Actor" to compete with the stars.
The prequel to "I Am an Actor" is actually a warm-up for the main competition.
Jisen Radio and Television, in a certain lounge, the expert team has all arrived, and Li Li and Nuan are chatting with everyone.
A team of experts, consisting of three groups of people.
The first part, the famous director group, led by Chen Kaige.
The second part, the Academy of Performance, is led by Wang Jingqi, vice president of the Beijing Film Academy.
The third part is the film critic school, including Zhang Xiaodong, Su Can, Genhao and others.
Li Li walked into the lounge and greeted everyone in turn.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Sun Yumei, an acting teacher at the Film Academy. β
"Hello Mr. Sun. β
"Teacher Li, I am Du Yun, the teacher of the physical education class of our Giessen Academy of Arts. β
"Hello!"
"Hello Mr. Li, I'm film critic Zhang Xiaodong. β
"Get out!"
When everyone was laughing, Vice President Wang Jingqi hurriedly walked into the room, and he said, "Xiaoli, I have brought you something good!"
"Hmm, Dean Wang, can you bring me something?"
"Yes!" Wang Jingqi opened the briefcase, took out a magazine from it, and handed it to Li Li.
On the cover of this magazine is prominently written: "The Art of Cinema".
The cover is printed with the picture of "Pansi Cave", which reads: The Republic of China movie reappears in the light of day, from Li Li's in-depth interpretation.
"My article was published?"
"Well, the last issue of 2018, I deliberately didn't tell you. The magazine "Film Art" is very niche, and it is estimated that few people can see it in Spring City, so I brought it to you on purpose. After that, Wang Jingqi took out a letter from his bag again, "There is a certificate of honor here." β
Zhang Xiaodong asked, "What award?"
"The Art of Cinema Gold Medal of the Year. β
Su Can smiled: "The gold medal has to have a bonus, right?"
"Yes!" Wang Jingqi took out an envelope from his bag again, "This is a bonus of 6,666 yuan, a small gift, and a New Year's 6,666!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Li just accepted it, and the magazine in his hand was taken away by everyone.
Sitting down and squeezing on the sofa, everyone read "Analysis of Several Problems in Pansi Cave".
"It's so well written!"
"It's not shallow, it's deep!"
"Mr. Li's article is well-founded and insightful. β
β¦β¦
Creak.
The door suddenly opened, and an elderly man of about 65 walked in. Seeing this, everyone got up and said hello.
"Director Chen!"
"Director Chen is young again!"
"Sit down, Director Chen. β
β¦β¦
Chen Kaige pointed to the magazine in Zhang Xiaodong's hand and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Xiaodong: "Li Li's article about "Pansi Cave". β
"Oh! I heard from a friend that this movie has caused a great sensation and attention, I specially watched the movie," Chen Kaige said again, "I heard the director say that the host of this show is that Li Li?"
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Chen!" Li Li smiled.
Chen Kaige was taken aback, "You are Li Li?"
"Uh...... Right. Li Lixin said: It's good to have a big coffee position.
"Show me the article. Chen Kaige sat down, turned the pages of the magazine one by one, he kept nodding slightly, suddenly raised his head and said: "Why do you think the emotional issue in the movie is easy to attract criticism?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Li Li, and said in their hearts: Rigid thinking, conservative!
Li Li smiled lightly: "In the classical aesthetic discourse of our country, the discussion of naked ti is missing. And what our traditional aesthetics pursues is an indirect and vague beauty. Chinese art usually uses the ritual of defining human nature to transform desire, and it is inevitable that the effect of desire will be negated or inhibited in the transformation......"
Li Li gushed endlessly, everyone looked at each other, and their thoughts couldn't keep up.
Outside the door of this lounge, as soon as Wen Wen walked to the door, he saw the staff whispering:
"It's like a paper!"
"My brain hurts when I hear it!"
"It's too winding, can you be more superficial!"
"I don't understand it, but I feel like it's diao!"
β¦β¦
Looking in, I saw that Li Li was still expounding his views.
Li Li: "The French philosopher and sinologist FranΓ§ois Julien has an incisive discussion on the relationship between nude and Chinese aesthetics in his book "Essence or Nudeness", saying that Chinese culture prefers a sideways and indirect relationship, and we emphasize not to be overly 'tight' and retain the ambiguous ...... on the subject."
Inside, Li Li carefully expounded his understanding of the movie plot, and everyone listened quietly, and they couldn't say anything, because they dug a little deeper.
Li Li: "......
The binding of aesthetics and Taoism in China has inhibited the rational exploration of the essence of beauty and blocked the thoroughfare between art, science and even the humanistic spirit.
This kind of legacy has affected our attitude towards film sentiments, including the attitude of stage 'romance'. β
Chen Kaige was a little speechless, smiled, and said to Wang Jingqi: "This kid has a little goods in his stomach!"
"Quite stock. β
Chen Kaige nodded with satisfaction, "I like young people with materials, are you the host of this show?"
"And me, Director Chen!" Wen Wen walked in quickly, "Director Chen, it's been a long time." β
"Nuan Nuan has grown into a big girl, and the eighteenth year of the female college has changed!"
"Director Chen, are you here for the amateur session today?"
"No, no, I'm going to find out about the show signing the contract. β
Everyone sat together and chatted and got acquainted with each other, which was also conducive to the smoothness of the program recording.
Just after 10 o'clock, everyone walked into the dressing room to put on makeup, and the prequel to "I Am an Actor" - the amateur special is about to start.
At this time, in the hall, 100 amateurs were waiting anxiously.
"Hey, buddy, what are you doing?"
"I'm an actor. β
"Is it the kind of words?"
"It's the kind of corpse that pretends to be dead. β
β¦β¦
"Huh, you're from the Beijing Film Academy, so how can we compare ourselves to you?"
"There's nothing in film school, aren't there a lot of people like us who go to be a group performer?"
β¦β¦
In the midst of the chaotic conversation, Cai Jiayan hid at the edge of the crowd, her fingers crossed and clasped together, looking at the staircase with anxiety.
The cameraman suddenly walked out of the elevator with the machine, and Xia Xue said loudly: "The show will be recorded immediately, first we have to record a group portrait, and when the lens is given to everyone, be excited." β
The cameraman was in all directions, and before the cameraman in front of him could turn on the camera, the players surrounded him in an uproar.
Cai Jiayan took two steps back, and after a slight hesitation, she squeezed over quickly.
Xia Xue hurriedly said: "Don't squeeze, everyone! There will be a camera, don't squeeze." β
The camera swept over everyone's cheeks one by one, and everyone waved their hands excitedly.
Wu Qing, the host of the location, handed the microphone to an audience: "Excuse me, what is your profession?"
"I'm a chef!"
"How are you feeling right now?"
"Nervous, excited, surging!!"
Wu Qing handed the microphone to Cai Jiayan again: "Beauty, what is your profession?"
Cai Jiayan was stunned, "I, I'm a music teacher!"
"What are you here for?"
"I want to be an actor. β
"I can't hear you!!"
Cai Jiayan clenched her fists and said excitedly: "I want to be an actor!!"
Wu Qing swept the microphone towards everyone and said, "What is the purpose of your coming here?"
"I'm going to be an actor!"
"I want to be an actor!"
"I want to make a fortune!"
"I want fame and fortune!"
β¦β¦
Xia Xue was speechless, and pointed to a few people who didn't fit in, "Those buddies, don't tell the truth, can you do it?"
Wu Qing swept the microphone to everyone again: "What is the purpose of your coming here?"
Everyone said in unison:
"I want to be an actor!
I want to be an actor!
I want to be an actor!!"
Xia Xue clapped her hands, "Okay, everyone follow me to the studio." β
A group of people walked into the studio, and everyone looked around curiously, and for most of them, this was not a studio, but Vanity Fair.
Everywhere the cameras are in working condition, the crane camera captures everyone's expression, and there are videographers who keep pulling close-ups.
Song Dong walked in front of everyone at this time, "Don't be nervous, show your best self, sit down!"
Because it is a special session for online amateurs, and it is a link to screen newcomers, there is no audience at the scene.
After everyone sat down, they waited for the "execution".
While the contestants were talking to each other, two beautiful figures suddenly flashed on the side of the stage.
"Look, Li Li!"
"Teacher Li, the host is here!"
"It's over, it's over, my heart is pounding, I'm so nervous!"
"It's over, it's over, my heart is pounding, my male god is here!"
β¦β¦
The close-up of the camera is directly locked on Li Li and Nuan who are walking quickly on the stage.
Li Li was wearing a bright red suit, which contrasted with the warmth of a milky white dress.
Facing the camera, Li Li mentioned Mike: "Hello everyone, this is the amateur special show of the first original acting PK variety show "I Am an Actor", I am the host Li Li!"
Warmth: "Hello everyone, I am Warmth. This program is exclusively titled and broadcast by Jiangnan Beauty Clothing Group. β
Li Li held a warm hand, and the two walked quickly to the middle of the stage.
The camera swept to the audience, and the 100 players sitting in the front row had already stood up.
Li Li: "I am an actor" amateur registration channel, a total of 31,782 people across the country have signed up, after layers of screening, strict screening, we excavated 100 amateurs to come to today's scene. β
Warmth: "First of all, congratulations to the 100 players present who stood out in the first round and became the lucky ones among more than 30,000 people. But your second round of challenges is about to begin.
Today, only 20 of you will be able to advance to the next round, and the remaining 80 will be eliminated!
I hope you will cherish the opportunity and grasp your destiny!!"
Li Li: "Next, please invite the jury to enter today, they are, Mr. Wang Jingqi, vice president of Beijing Film Academy, and Ms. Sun Yumei, teacher of acting class of Beijing Film Academy......"
The members of the jury came to the stage one by one, and the hearts of all the contestants in the audience instantly hung up.
After the judges took their seats and gave speeches, it was time to examine the contestants.
Li Li's eyes swept to the audience and asked, "Did anyone volunteer to be the first to come on stage?"
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
"Then I'll pick it!"
Li Li walked to the stage in a few steps, and swept past everyone in turn, and everywhere his eyes went, he was frightened.
Everyone is not afraid of Li Li, but afraid of being the first to take the stage!
No one wants to be the first to eat crabs, they all want to observe and accumulate experience first.
Everyone trembled, avoiding Li Li's gaze.
Li Li walked in the crowd, suddenly turned his head sharply, and pointed at a young man who thought he had escaped and was so excited that he clenched his hands into fists, "It's you." β
"Huh?" The guy was stupid, he thought he had escaped, and just secretly celebrated, he asked the host to kill him!
"Sun Bin, please come to the stage. β
Sun Bin's face turned pale, and he followed Li Li to the stage.
Li Li said: "Sun Bin, don't be nervous!"
"Uh-huh!"
Warmth: "Sun Bin, please briefly introduce yourself." β
"I ...... I'm a dancer, I love movies, and I often post parody shows on Doule, which get a lot of clicks, and I ...... That's, it's gone. β
Wang Jingqi raised his head: "I haven't learned acting at all?"
Sun Bin shook his head.
"Read?"
Sun Bin shook his head again.
"Then how did you get into the 100-man roster. β
But seeing it, the sweat on Sun Bin's forehead was crackling and sliding down, he was too nervous.
"I ...... Uh......"
Li Lixin said badly, this guy was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Li Li hurriedly said: "Sun Bin, aren't you particularly good at imitation?"
Sun Bin nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Teachers, do you want to see his ability to imitate?" Wen Wen saw that everyone did not object, and said, "Please show your talent." β
"Then I'll imitate it, uh...... in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the last series of scenes of Huang Mao!"
This imitation is disastrous, it is completely ultra-low-level performance, and the choreographers and directors of the column group in the audience do not lose hope!
Sun Bin's imitation of Xing Ye in the registration video is exactly the same, except for the difference in appearance, it can be perfectly restored, and every detail is almost presented in the form of a copy.
Li Li watched Sun Bin's video last night, and he was really shocked. But Li Li never expected that because of nervousness, Sun Bin completely collapsed his specialty performance.
There is no doubt that Sun Bin scored an average of 3.1 points and stepped down in a sweat.
"Did anyone volunteer?" Wen Wen glanced at the crowd and began to agitate, "I heard that there are a few students of the Beijing Film Academy today? The dean is here, don't you dare to come up?" By the way, dean, are you usually strict with students, are they afraid of you?"
Wang Jingqi smiled and glanced at the audience, "Usually strict and not stern, don't say it, tonight, it must be strict!"
"I'm coming!" a boy suddenly raised his hand and stepped onto the stage.
Li Li smiled: "Courage is commendable. β
The boy was very confident, but a little blindly confident, and after some investigation, he only got a barely passing score of 6.1.
Everyone in the audience instantly discussed:
"Oh my God, the scores of the students in the film school are so low?"
"I'm more nervous, it's over!"
"The judges are so strict, I'm so scared!"
"The host is down again, don't choose me, don't choose me!"
β¦β¦
"Did anyone volunteer? Yes, then I can name him!" Li Li walked into the crowd again and glanced at Cai Jiayan, who kept her head down, avoiding his gaze.
Forget it, don't call her yet.
Li Li changed to a target, walked around everyone one by one, he suddenly patted the guy next to him, and just when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly felt a large tremor from the palm of his hand, and the guy was trembling all over!
Li Li was very puzzled, as for being nervous like this?
After all, I am an amateur, many people do not have a systematic understanding of performance, and it is normal for them to be timid due to lack of self-knowledge.
This feeling is not much different from that of a poor student taking the college entrance examination, it is the fear of running out of goods in the stomach.
Li Li turned around and walked to the stage and said, "Since you are selected to be on the 100-person list, our choreographer must have seen the shining points and potential in you."
Among the tens of thousands of applicants, there are a large number of undergraduate students who have been screened down, and many of you are far inferior to them in terms of professionalism, but today you can come to this stage because you have a quality that they do not have, and this quality is called talent!
In the amateur session, our assessment of everyone will be divided into two directions. For those who have never studied acting, we will be assessed with the mentality of creating a jade, we want to see the potential you have, not what acting skills you have now!
But if it's a college student, we're a different set of standards.
You want to be yourself, and our judging criteria are not the same! Dean Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Jingqi nodded: "Yes, that's it!"
The players were a little more settled.
Li Li sighed softly, he is both a father and a mother, and he has to give the contestant a psychological massage!
Fortunately, the special session hosted by the amateur is very short, and I will win if I survive today, otherwise I will die of depression!
