Chapter 144: The so-called bottom line

"What??," Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Before he came, he had imagined countless times the content of the assessment, whether it was physical fitness, typhoon, or performing talents, or doing some questionnaires that could highlight his psychology.

In order to increase the certainty of passing, he was inquiring about relevant questions along the way, read countless posts, learned about the content of the art examination, and even downloaded an art examination video with mobile phone traffic, and practiced according to the mode of excellent candidates.

As a result, all the preparations were useless, but in just one minute, Luo Hai looked at the time, looked at himself, let himself look at the screen, and told him that he passed the assessment, of course he was confused.

Just like a candidate who took the national examination, for this exam, the candidate studied carefully, humbly asked for advice, and walked into the examination room with apprehension and excitement. When I got the test paper, I found that the exam questions were just 'one plus one', and it was more absurd than just confused.

As a top entertainment company in China, is Huayi's assessment so unrigorous?

Even if you don't test your physique, don't test typhoon, and don't care what his personality is, at least you have to examine your talent, right?

Probably guessing Lin Chen's thoughts, Luo Hai said calmly: "Do you think it's child's play? Do you think we'll test your typhoon, acting skills, and singing skills?"

Lin Chen was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to answer. Whether it is child's play or not, he has passed the assessment and is about to become a member of Huayi, one foot has entered the entertainment industry, and the other foot has already entered half, there is no need to make extraneous branches.

What if Luo Hai also feels child's play during the chat, what if he is re-assessed?

After a while, he still decided to tell the truth: "Yes, I prepared a lot of plans in advance, but they didn't work." ”

He is not asking for trouble, but wants to know more about the entertainment industry. As an ordinary person who rashly broke into the entertainment industry, he may know some so-called insiders, and may have heard some of the revelations, however, he can't hide the fact that he is an outsider, and he doesn't know what kind of circle the entertainment industry is and what special rules there are.

It can be seen from the assessment that he is incompatible with the entertainment industry and does not understand the operating rules of the entertainment industry. He hopes that through Luo Hai's explanation, he will have a clearer understanding of the entertainment industry.

Only by understanding it can you be qualified to integrate into the entertainment industry.

Luo Hai turned his head and glanced at him appreciatively, not knowing whether to praise his honesty or his cleverness. The strange thing is that after glancing at Lin Chen, he turned his head again and looked at the huge screen in the distance, as if the person on the screen was a real person, and the person standing next to him was an image.

"Now is the information age, many secrets are no longer secrets, I don't need to say more, as long as you are diligent, you can find the answers you want on the Internet. What does this circle need? Actors need acting skills, singers need singing skills, hosts need typhoons, but stars need images, a perfect screen image. ”

Speaking of this, his tone fluctuated slightly: "Where is this? Huayi is the top star-making factory in China." Whatever you want, we can build for you. Even if you are paralyzed, we can find hundreds of media to sing praises for you on the Internet. The audience who lacks awards does not admit it, and it is enough to smash it with money, if one million is not good, it will be five million, and if it is not five million, it will be ten million, even the actor has a price. The recording studio can solve this problem, and if it can't be solved, there are sound repairers, as long as we want to, we can make anyone a god of song. ”

I don't know why, Lin Chen heard a sense of overlooking from Luo Hai's words.

Yes, as he said, with the resources at Huayi's disposal, he can completely control everything and turn anyone into a star, as long as they want. This thought made him a little disillusioned with the perception of celebrities, when resources decide everything, what is a celebrity?

Before he could think clearly, Luo Hai's voice came again: "Of course, it is not so simple to become a star, you need to comply with a basic condition: you need to have a refreshing image for the audience." Speaking of this, he shook his head: "No, no, it's not an image, it's a screen image." ”

Lin Chen couldn't help but want to complain, why do you need to focus on reminding the screen image, isn't it just looks? Just say that appearance is justice, why pretend to be profound.

It's just that when he saw Luo Hai's expression, he suddenly found that the image and the screen image may be really different.

Looking at Lin Chen on the screen, Luo Hai had a trace of obsession in his eyes, like an antique collector meeting a national treasure, and like a sculptor meeting the most perfect gem. Obsessed, intoxicated, excited.

The strange thing is that when he looked at the reality Lin Chen, there was not so much emotion in his eyes, and he was so calm that he was almost indifferent. He will be obsessed with the image on the screen, but he is unwilling to pay more attention to the real people in reality, in his heart, the real image and the screen image are indeed different.

With surprise, Lin Chen couldn't help but look at his image on the screen. Looking closely, I was surprised to find that the screen image seems to have been optimized, the facial features are more three-dimensional, the temperament on the body is more obvious, and every move has a completely different charm from reality.

He doesn't know why this happens, is it because of the system or because the machine program is different, he has experienced the cold record of the machine, which not only does not destroy his own beauty, but also enhances his charm, according to the terminology of the entertainment industry, it is the photo, his face, his temperament, everything about him is suitable for the screen.

Even so, he was a little unhappy. Pass the assessment by virtue of your looks, you don't need to perform, you don't need to screen, you don't need to sing, and your appearance represents everything. It was a blessing for him, but it was a disaster for thousands of viewers.

When celebrities and entertainment companies all think that appearance is justice, how many actors can still sink their hearts and hone their acting skills? How many singers are left who are willing to work their singing skills? Appearance has become the mainstream, they only need to be responsible for looking good, and the essence that needs to be studied is handed over to the propaganda team and high-tech.

He began to understand why face-paralysis, cutouts, pompous, and car accident concerts were all the rage. When the definition of celebrities in the entertainment industry has been broken from the roots, who can expect celebrities to go on the right path?

"I'm not your examiner, your examiner is it. Luo Hai pointed to the camera in the distance: "When it recognizes you, you have already passed the assessment." ”

What is the assessment? There is only one real assessment, whether it is suitable for the big screen, whether there is a face on the big screen that the audience likes, and that's it.

Lin Chen laughed at himself, in the face of all face-looking entertainment circles, whether it is persistence or hard work, it is childish and funny. There is only one reason why he can knock on the door of fate, the appearance he has never had before.

Sighing lightly, he barely controlled the disappointment in his heart and asked: "Appearance represents everything, so what does hard work mean?

Luo Hai shook his head: "Being good-looking means that you are qualified to get started, and if you want to become a star, there are many things you need to do." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt a little better, appearance is an entry, and ability determines whether he can become a star, right? However, Luo Hai's next words completely broke his happiness, and only a cold was left in his heart.

"If you want to become a star, you need to accumulate step by step, have movie works or TV series works, and at the very least, you have to participate in various variety shows, get familiar with the audience, and leave an impression in the hearts of the public, so that you can barely be regarded as a star. However, whether it is movies, TV series, or variety shows, they are all resources, and there are many stars staring at them, so how can newcomers get these resources? We are a company with a bottom line, and after becoming a family, we will take you to some banquets, private dinners, and contact real bigwigs, and only by being favored by them can you become a star. ”

Lin Chen only felt cold in his heart, he was not a three-year-old child, how could he not know what he would face at banquets and private dinners. In those dinners, he was a commodity, serving the big guys, and the star was his reward.

"Is it your bottom line to let newcomers participate in the so-called dinner?" he asked in a bitter voice, is it the bottom line to let newcomers with dreams see those ugly faces?

Luo Hai glanced at him and said lightly: "Telling you this before signing the contract is the bottom line." On your terms, as long as you agree, I can guarantee that you will become a big star, and if you are smart enough, there is not much problem with being a superstar. If you don't agree, everything today will be treated as if nothing happened, and you will go back and continue to be a little anchor. ”

After a pause, he left Lin Chen enough time to think, and finally asked, "Now, I need you to tell me an answer, accept it or not?"
