Chapter 186: Semi-finals
Li Li walked out of the lounge and saw a kind old man standing next to Yu Ya, who was Mr. Li Weikang, who had previously instructed him in Peking Opera.
Li Li hurriedly greeted: "Hello teacher!"
"Okay!" Li Weikang looked at him with a smile, as if he had a deep meaning, but Li Li felt a little hairy.
Yu Ya said: "Li Li, you ignore the remarks on the Internet for the time being, do you understand?"
"Understood. β
Yu Ya's white hand pointed in the direction of the lounge alternately, Li Li understood, and said busily: "Leader, teacher, then I'll go back." β
After seeing Li Li leave, Yu Ya smiled and said diligently: "Teacher, then I'm sorry for you." β
"No trouble, just tell the truth. When it was the most chaotic time, my husband and I always told the truth!"
β¦β¦
How strong is the ability of individual netizens to counterattack and raise the bar, Li Li once again appreciated it tonight.
Li Li returned to the lounge, sat on the sofa and watched the comments under the cat meow meow video with everyone, and suddenly felt that his intelligence had been trampled!
"I'm a fan of Li Li, what I said before, how could Li Li be wrong!"
"Now the stone hammer is down, see what else you have to say!"
"It's so happy, the cat meows and meows! If this girl travels to Germany again, it will be awesome to get an interview video!"
"Those who oppose Li Li and say that Li Li is talking nonsense, come out!"
β¦β¦
As a result, it really came out!
"How do you prove that this is the Russian University of Dramatic Arts?"
"It's obviously a pose, the actor you invited, right?"
"We don't know Russian, and the devil knows if they mean a translation!"
"Cat Meow is a die-hard fan of Li Li, this video doesn't count!"
β¦β¦
The stars in the lounge looked at the screen, all dumbfounded.
"This tenacious fighting ability is really challenging human cognition!"
"In the eyes of black fans, no matter what you say, everyone will veto it!"
Gao Yuanyuan said: "Black powder can make your body so black that you have no skin, and I often suffer from it!"
Li Li was surprised: "Sister, are you okay?"
"What's good, many netizens complain about me, I'm going to collapse. β
"What's the complaint?"
"Saying that I don't have acting skills, I'm just a vase! The drama is narrow, and I eat with my face! β
Zhou Dongyu cried: "You're okay, netizens all say that I look like that, how did I become popular, I'm not more hurt than you? I also want to be a vase! I can't be a vase, I can only force me to be a powerful faction!"
β¦β¦
Everyone laughed and talked, and the time passed by every second.
Entering the semi-finals, there are currently only 9 actors left, Cai Jiayan is the most unique one among them, as an amateur player, she is the only one who has come to this day, she has no identity and no fame, she just listened quietly to these actors on the side, and then silently picked up her mobile phone on the Internet to fight against Li Li's netizens.
The semi-finals were a wheel battle between three teams, and for the sake of fairness, the rehearsal preparation time for each group was the same, so the previous recording mode did not work.
In the semi-finals, each group will only be informed of the topic before the performance, which means that if the last group takes the stage in the previous period, they will have much more preparation time than the first group will take the stage. But because of this, the recording of the semi-finals took more time than any previous episode.
Song Dong walked into the lounge quickly, "Teachers, please wait and prepare to take the stage." We can only record one stage play tonight, and the remaining two will be recorded in turn tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Good luck to all!"
Under the guidance of the staff, Li Li and the stars came to the entrance of the stage, and his eyes drifted to the audience, only to see that the audience was full of seats, and there was no room for it.
In the middle of the three or four rows in the front, my parents were chatting with the people around me holding cherries, and Li Li looked at them carefully, and they were the leaders of Giessen University, the highest of which was the executive vice president.
Just after 7 o'clock, the crowd was cheering and shouting. Warmth and Sa Beining took the stage in this warm atmosphere.
"Welcome to the semi-finals of "I Am an Actor"!
"I am the substitute host Sa Beining, you must be very curious, where did Li Li go! The semi-finals and finals are more intense, and my substitute host is to liberate Li Li and make Li Li more involved in the game. β
Someone at the scene shouted Li Li's name, and then a large number of people began to shout Li Li.
The stars in the background looked at him with envy, but they only had envy. After all, Li Li is not only popular, but also the host, and no one can compare this popularity!
Warm and Sa Bei Ning were in the hot field, and after a while, Sa Bei Ning said: "Next, please, the 9 players who advanced to the semi-finals took the stage, they are: Zhang Ershan, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Dongyu...... Li Li!"
As soon as Li Li stepped onto the stage, he heard the entire studio explode in an instant! The audience was full of shouts, and countless lantern signs were being held high! The shouts and cheers continued!
The three mentors and director Chen Kaige turned around one after another, looking at the audience behind them with some surprise.
Zhang Jiayi: "This is all catching up with the enthusiasm of the fans of the supergirl Li Yuchun back then!"
Xu Zheng smiled: "Teacher Ziyi is the most popular time, that's it, right?"
Zhang Ziyi sighed: "It's okay not to mention the past." β
β¦β¦
Li Li walked to the stage, waved to the audience, and then fell silent.
9 people stand according to their respective teams:
Zhang Ziyi's team: Li Li, Zhang Ershan, Zhou Dongyu.
Xu Zheng team: Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Kai, Zhou Yiwei.
Zhang Jia's first team: Wang Xiaochen, Cai Jiayan, Luo Jin.
Everyone stood up and listened quietly to the host introduce the rules of the semi-finals.
Warmth: "First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate the 9 contestants who broke through the hurdles and stood out from the 56 outstanding actors, and congratulations to everyone on the stage of the semi-finals. β
Sa Beining: "On the semi-final stage, the three teams adopted the wheel battle system, and the mentors of the two teams with the lowest votes chose to advance to one person, and the mentors of the winning teams chose to advance to two, and finally advanced to the top 4. β
Warmth: "We will have three sets of topics tonight, the three teams will be randomly selected, about the semi-finals of the topic, we fully listened to the audience's opinions, the program team after consultation, decided, the semi-final topics, all out of the realistic script, to achieve the original plot!"
Wow!
The audience instantly went crazy with discussions!
"It's long overdue!
"I also took the previous shows, they were all clips of classic film and television dramas, and they were all imitated, netizens were so right, are we watching "I Am an Actor", or are we watching "I am an Imitation"?"
"It's really boring to reproduce the clips of classic film and television dramas, the plots are all ready-made, there is no sense of surprise and surprise at all, the only thing we viewers can do is to see how big the gap between them and the original drama is!"
"It's still Li Li who did a good job before, there are original and adaptations, and they are not completely loyal to the original work, this is the flavor that the show should present!"
β¦β¦
The audience was very satisfied with this change, and the slap was particularly loud.
However, the eight actors on the stage were all dumbfounded, all confused, and at a loss! They looked at each other, and then looked at Li Li, who was standing on the very edge with a calm face.
Among the 9 actors, only Li Li is light-hearted, and whether the style of this issue is changed or not has no impact on him.
Warmly said: "Next, please go back to the lounge for a while, and the three star mentors will come on stage and prepare to draw questions." β
The actors walked backstage with dejected faces, and everyone collapsed:
"Don't you act according to film and television dramas, then we don't have a reference!"
"The original script is too difficult, after all, the time is too short, we can't make it the scene of a car accident!"
"If the scene of the car accident is also successful, I'm afraid that I will suddenly be stuck in the middle of the performance, and then I will die!"
"It's too difficult to change this rule. You still remember that the first two issues also had this type of free play type of topic, except for Li Li's "The So-called Happiness", the other two groups all exploded. β
Li Li hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, everyone, the semi-finals leave us with more preparation time, nearly 1 times more time than before!"
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Li Li, and in the midst of their predicament, they once again realized in advance how good Li Li was!
Everyone went to the lounge and took their seats, watching uneasily as the three mentors chose the order of battle on TV.
The three instructors also joked with each other on the stage to liven up the atmosphere, but as a result, none of the people in the lounge laughed, and they all cried and mourned. Of course, Li Li is an exception!
"Haha!" Li Li was amused by Xu Zheng on TV, he hurriedly suppressed the particularly eye-catching laughter, or don't stimulate everyone.
On the stage, the three mentors guessed the Ding shell, and finally the Xu Zheng team was the first to perform on stage.
Li Li's gaze shifted to the members of Xu Zheng's team, and he saw Gao Yuanyuan's hands clasped together with a nervous expression, Wang Kai was a little restless, and Zhou Yiwei was very calm, it was the kind of calm that was hard to support.
On TV, the first set of plays came out:
γPeking Opera Singersγ
Keywords: murder, betrayal, crying, evil spirit, revenge......
Xu Zheng scratched his bald head, "Mom, this subject matter is difficult! The members of our group are good citizens at first glance, this is not easy to do!"
Warmth: "Please ask Teacher Xu Zheng's team to prepare!"
In the lounge, the three members of Xu Zheng's team got up depressedly and walked to the script discussion room together.
Li Li looked at their nervous backs, and he didn't know what they could do.
The few remaining people in the lounge were chatting, in fact, more to relax.
About half an hour later, Zhang Ziyi suddenly walked into the lounge.
"Hello Teacher Ziyi!"
"Teacher Ziyi, Teacher Xu Zheng, how is their group preparing?"
"yes, how are they preparing?"
Zhang Ziyi shook her head, "It's not ideal." By the way, Xiaoli, you come with me. β
Li Li hurriedly followed, and Zhang Ziyi walked in front and said, "You come with me to see their group and give some advice or something." β
"Sister Ziyi, what virtue do I have, how can I give advice to others?"
"Eh, don't be modest! The difficulty of the questions in the semi-finals has been upgraded, which actually has no effect on us, but the other two groups are difficult. I have to write scripts, memorize lines, and grind scenes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is far more difficult than copying classic film and television dramas!"
Li Li disagreed, "However, the actors' preparation time is also sufficient, a full night, much more than the preparation time of the previous show." β
Zhang Ziyi glanced at him, "Do you think everyone is like you, and the script will come out as soon as you pat your head?"
Li Li said modestly: "I'm not that powerful, I only have occasional flashes of inspiration. β
"Then you can't always flash, it's like an ambulance light, and our hearts can't stand it!"
While talking, the two came to the door of Xu Zheng's team, and through the window, they saw: Gao Yuanyuan with her hands in her hair, her face full of worry, Wang Kai with a pen in her hand, he was staring at the A4 paper on the table in a daze, and Zhou Yiwei kept wandering in place, frowning.
Xu Zheng stood cross-legged, as if he was saying something innocuous about it.
Zhang Ziyi knocked on the door and leaned in, "You haven't written your script yet?"
"I'm thinking about it," Xu Zheng squeezed out a slight smile, he suddenly saw Li Li who showed up later, and immediately laughed, stepped forward and grabbed Li Li's arm and said, "Yo, the savior is here!"
Gao Yuanyuan and the others were instantly refreshed, and everyone greeted Li Li one after another.
Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed: "I don't have personal experience, I really don't know how difficult the original script is!"
Wang Kai smiled bitterly: "It's all suffocating me, the more anxious I am, the more I can't write, and what I write is also a mess of waste." I now really know your ability to create and adapt the script! In the state of the competition, and in such a short period of time, it is really a fool's dream to be able to come up with a full house of scripts!"
Zhou Zhou Wei said: "Frankly speaking, I only know now how much better you are than us! The three of us have been holding back here for almost an hour, and we haven't even come up with a basic outline!"
Li Li smiled and said: "Hey, everyone is too modest! Who believes that you haven't even come up with an outline for such a long time?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Gao Yuanyuan said, "He seems to be scolding us!"
"I think so!"
"Scold, scold, who let us read less, dear Teacher Li, give us an outline!"
Li Li was stunned, "You ...... You really haven't sorted out the outline, huh?"
Everyone shook their heads, and then showed Li Li the messy straw paper in their hands.
Wang Kai pulled a chair for Li Li: "Teacher Li, please take a seat!"
Gao Yuanyuan immediately poured a glass of water and put it in Li Li's hand, "Please use it slowly." β
Zhou Zhou Wei said: "Teacher Li, help!"
Li Li raised his wrist and looked at the time, the time was too urgent, and it really couldn't be done if he didn't help. He asked, "What do you guys think about the outline?"
"Don't let us think about it, just say what you think!"
"What we think about is a mess, we are actors, not screenwriters! I want to sue the column group, our program is "I am an actor", not "I am a screenwriter"!"
Li Li smiled: "The title is [Peking Opera Famous Singers]." The key words are, murder, betrayal, crying, evil spirit, revenge, etc., let me think about whether I can give you a little useful information. β
Li Li pondered deeply, and the others all stared at him, this is the quality assurance of today's first play.
Li Li's brows gradually relaxed, and he suddenly said: "Yes, the keyword 'revenge', I personally think it is better to happen on the drama stage, for example, you can learn from Cheng Dieyi in the movie "Farewell My Concubine", which happened to be played by me before."
If a famous Peking Opera singer in the new drama pretends to enter a situation where there is no distinction between human drama and hurts people by mistake, but in fact retaliates, what will happen?"
Everyone nodded:
"Yes, that's good. β
"This kind of design can especially show the strength of the performance, and it is difficult to portray the subtle emotions of this kind of plot deeply if the performance level is not enough. β
Li Li said: "I'll talk about a few key plot designs first, and then connect them to complete the outline. As for the key word 'crying'......"
Wang Kai hurriedly said: "Pretend to be pitiful after hurting people with the wrong hand." β
Li Li hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, it's boring to design like this, and it's also opportunistic." I think it should be designed like thisβ"
"Wait a minute!"
A voice from outside the door suddenly interrupted Li Li, and everyone looked around, only to see Zhang Jiayi walking indoors.
Zhang Jiayi: "Your group still brings foreign aid? I protested, this is a wheel war between teams, it's not appropriate to ask for foreign aid, right?"
Xu Zheng smiled: "You think I want to invite, you will know the difficulties when you come to your group!"
"That's too unfair, you please, I'll please!"
Xu Zheng: "Then it depends on whether Li Li's gang will help you." β
Zhang Jiayi immediately said to Li Li: "Li Li, you can get a bowl of water!"
Everyone understands that Zhang Jiayi is not here to be held accountable, but also to ask for foreign aid.
Zhang Jiayi knows his team members too well, one is an amateur player, the other is a young actress in her early 20s, and the other is an actor who has no passable works, relying on them to write scripts?
The script can be written, but what level can it be? They can't be trusted!
Li Li said ashamedly at this time: "Teacher, I really don't have any level. β
"You just said you can't help, right?!"
"I just have to make a little bit of inconsequential advice. β
"That's good, it's decided!" Zhang Jia was happy.
Zhang Jia was happy, and Yu Ya's face outside the door darkened.
Originally, the title was designed for the self-breakthrough of the show and the contestants, but how did it turn into Li Li dependence?
Song Dong hurriedly whispered: "Leader, forget it, I see that these well-known actors have absolutely no content in the scripts they write, and if they don't get it right, it will affect the reputation of the show, so it's better to let Li Li improve their performance in the name of 'friendship first and competition second'."
We are probably spoiled by Li Li's excellence, and we think that other people can reach two-thirds of his level, thinking too much!"
Yu Ya sighed slightly, "Tell Li Li that you can only provide the outline of the script and the key plot, and you must not write the script for you." Only help, not ghostwriting. β
"Yes!"
Yu Ya left helplessly, and said in her heart: Three stinkers, can't they beat Zhuge Liang?
