On the morning of September 13, Zhang Ran took two students to the CCTV sketch contest program group to participate in the draw.

A total of more than 830 works from all over the country signed up for this competition, and 30 works were selected to enter the finals through the competition. The finals are divided into 5 competitions, each with 6 works, and the competition is divided into two rounds, which are the work competition and the observation of the characters. The two rounds of the competition were scored by different judges on the spot, of which the work was 98 points, and the observation of the character practice was 2 points, with a total score of 100 points.

At the end of 5 games, the champion with the highest total score is the winner. At the end of the five competitions, the judges will vote for five male and five actors, five male and female, and three rounds of competition will be held at the awards gala to determine the best actor and actress.

The CCTV sketch contest adopts a live broadcast mode, which is generally only adopted by large-scale evenings, because the performers of large-scale evenings are famous artists who have rich stage experience. The contestants of the sketch contest are all professional actors, most of them have very rich stage experience, and some have even appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so the sketch contest has also adopted the mode of live broadcast.

At this time, the CCTV building gathered 30 teams from various theater troupes, art troupes, and colleges and universities across the country, among them was Lin Yongjian, an old face familiar to the audience, and a real newcomer like Wang Siwei.

Zhang Ran met Bai Fanping leading the Chinese opera team at the venue, he didn't expect Bai Fanping to really enter the finals, and he felt a little emotional, this Bai Fanping still seems to have some strength.

"You're even in the finals, it's really the sun coming out of the west. Bai Fanping saw Zhang Ran's surprised expression and said in a mocking tone.

"I'm sorry, I've disappointed you!" Zhang Ran smiled, his expression was very indifferent, and he was not affected by Bai Fanping at all.

"Nope. I'm not disappointed and I'm looking forward to your performance at the bottom. Bai Fanping's words were full of contempt.

"Then we will disappoint you again, this time we didn't plan to come empty-handed, we came for the award!" Zhang Ran smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence.

"This joke is good, I can laugh for a year!" Bai Fanping burst out laughing when he heard that Zhang Ran wanted to win the award. Attracted countless people to look at this side.

"What, you don't believe it?" Zhang Ran was not annoyed, and said lightly.

"Of course I don't believe it!" Bai Fanping said categorically.

"Then why don't we make a bet? If we win the prize carefully, you publish a statement in our Nortel journal, the content doesn't need to be too much, you can write it like this, Nortel, we are in costumes!" Zhang Ran smiled faintly.

The participating teams in the sketch contest are all professional teams, especially the teams of the General Political Department and the Air Politics. Their works have been performed countless times in the grassroots troops, and it can be said that they have undergone a lot of tempering and have a very high standard. Up to now, even the Chinese opera has never won an award, let alone Nortel, Bai Fanping replied without thinking: "Okay! If you don't win the award, you will issue a statement in our Chinese opera journal, Chinese opera." We're in Nortel!"

"No problem, it's settled!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

In terms of acting experience and skills. Zhang Ran and they really can't compare with various professional troupes, but the sketch competition is not about experience and skills, but about the comprehensive evaluation of the performance, artistry, and ornamentation of the entire sketch. As far as the level of the sketch itself is concerned, Zhang Ran has absolute confidence.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the lottery officially began, and teams took turns to draw lots.

Soon it was Zhang Ran's turn. He stepped forward and prayed in front of the draw box before reaching in and reaching for a small ball. As soon as he looked at the number, he laughed.

"How much, how much? What are our number numbers?" Wang Siwei saw Zhang Ran walking back with a happy face, and hurriedly asked.

"Fifth Scene No. 4. Zhang Ran showed his white teeth.

"Great, great!" Wang Siwei and Gao Hang cheered. They didn't have enough time to rehearse, and the fifth scene was on the fifth day than they were, and they had more time to rehearse.

On Friday, September 19, the last of the 5th CCTV Sketch Contest is about to kick off. The hour hand has not yet pointed to eight o'clock, and the TVs of many sketch and variety show lovers are locked on CCTV 3, waiting for the start of the sketch contest with great anticipation.

In Nortel's cafeteria, students from Table 01, Li Xinyue and Zhou Zheng, as well as a few other students, stood in front of the TV and waited for the game to begin.

A few minutes before the start of the competition, the students whispered: "There doesn't seem to be any particularly outstanding work in this sketch competition, and it's a bit interesting to have a sense of security so far." ”

"That sketch is a bit interesting, but there are three levels of content in a simple sketch, which is very interesting. But I think it's still far worse than Mr. Zhang's sketch. Speaking of this, Huang Shengyi looked at Li Xinyue and asked, "Are you right, Teacher Li!"

Li Xinyue smiled and said: "Sketches are the art of conception. Mediocre works generally rely on sets to construct their plot skeletons, and use misunderstanding and ingenuity as the basic means of interpreting the story. Most of the sketches this time are like this, which seems to be more cliché and gives people a sense of déjà vu. Your Mr. Zhang's sketches are very exquisitely structured, and they come from real stories, which have a strong shock and emotional impact. ”

Zhao Ke asked, "Teacher Li, then do you say Teacher Zhang can win the award?"

That sketch condenses Li Xinyue's hard work, she hopes to win the award more than anyone else, but it's not easy to say: "In terms of works alone, so far, there is no one who can compare to your teacher Zhang's works, the key is performance." The contestants are all professional actors, from various drama troupes, and those who have attended the Spring Festival Gala, like Lin Yongjian and Zhou Wei, these people's stage experience is terrifying, and Mr. Zhang, they only have ten days of rehearsal time, so it is not easy to win the award!"

Zhang Xinyi was very unconvinced: "What about the rich stage experience, I think they are not as good as Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, they will definitely win the award!"

Wang Luodan said: "I think so too!"

Jia Nuliang interjected: "I think Teacher Zhang, they will definitely win the first prize!"

Everyone gave him a blank look: "Okay, don't joke at this time!"

Backstage of CCTV, the first Chinese opera players to take the stage are preparing for the stage, and the rest of the players are also putting on makeup and waiting quietly. Some closed their eyes to recuperate, some plugged their headphones, and some prayed secretly. After all, it was a national competition, and everyone was feeling a lot of pressure.

It was not easy to enter the finals, and no one wanted to be a passerby, and no one wanted to leave as a loser. Everyone is going to do everything they can and put in the best shape in order to impress the judges.

Zhang Ran: They didn't feel pressure, the only thing they felt was hungry, very, very hungry.

In the rehearsal a few days ago, Zhang Ran found a problem, the overall effect of the rehearsal was good, but the state of the characters was always a little wrong, and everyone couldn't play that state of hunger and cold. In order to truly show this state, Zhang Ran and the three of them have not eaten since last night, and they have been hungry for a whole day now.

Gao Hang was holding a box of Oreos, dangling in front of his eyes, and his eyes were about to reach out. Unable to eat, he could only hold it in his hand and try to quench his hunger.

Wang Siwei looked at the biscuit in Gao Hang's hand and swallowed his saliva. He snatched the biscuit from Gao Hang's hand and stuffed it into Gao Hang's bag: "Don't take it out and look at it, the more you look at it, the more hungry you become!"

Gao Hang shook his head and said: "In ancient times, Cao Cao looked at Mei to quench his thirst, and now Gao Hang looks at biscuits to quench hunger!"

Wang Siwei gave him a blank look: "Saliva can help digestion, can swallowing saliva stop hunger?"

Gao Hang thought about it and couldn't help but sigh. He saw Zhang Ran sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, like an old monk who had settled down, and couldn't help but say, "Teacher Zhang, I'm almost hungry, aren't you hungry?"

Zhang Ran didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "You think I'm a robot, of course I'm hungry." Hold on a little longer, there are still two hours, and when the game is over, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

When the bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the studio suddenly brightened, accompanied by a burst of dynamic music, and the hosts Dong Qing and Zhu Xun took the microphone and stepped onto the stage together.

As soon as the two took the stage, applause thundered.

"Distinguished guests, dear friends, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, distinguished judges, contestants and friends, good evening!"

"This is the live broadcast of the finals of the 5th CCTV TV Sketch Competition, today is the fifth and last game of the competition, before the start of the competition, or let us first introduce you to the judges of this year......'s sketch competition!

There are ten judges for the work, basically all of whom are directors and editors of Mandarin and Renyi, as well as experts and professors from Nortel and Chinese opera performance departments, and the lineup is very strong. It's a good thing that there is someone from Nortel among the judges, but it's not necessarily a good thing that this person is Huang Zhenyu, and it is very likely that Zhang Ran will be given a low score with his virtue.

Next is the judges who observed the character exercises, who are also heavyweights, including big stars such as Wei Zi and Jiang Shan, including an acquaintance of Zhang Ran, Nortel's teacher Huang Lei.

Dong Qing held the microphone in his hand and said with a smile: "Friends, today is the last game of our competition, before we start today's competition, let's take a look at the ranking of our entries after three days of competition." In first place is "A Sense of Security" with 97.79 points, in second place is "Female Soldier Wang Yan" with 97.53 points, and in third place is ......"

After introducing the results of each entry in the first four days, Dong Qing said with a smile: "After today's competition, the total ranking of thirty works will be generated, and our first, second and third prizes will also be produced. Friends, the last game of the final of the 5th CCTV Sketch Contest is about to begin. There will also be two rounds of competition tonight, and according to the results of the pre-game draw, the first one to appear today is the sketch "Untitled" selected and performed by the Central Academy of Drama. Please!"

As soon as the lights dimmed on the stage, the show began! )
