Lin Xinru will go to Xiangnan in a few days, and when the time comes, Song Zheng will naturally go with her, and Song Zheng's work that was forcibly apportioned by Shang Jie is about to start recording before he is notified.

The next day, Song Zheng went to the company, and in the conference room on the second floor of the company, he saw for the first time the complete planning of the variety show co-produced by Yanjing Satellite TV and 1+1 Company.

"In general, that's the main process and core content of this show!"

is the director of this show, and he is also the contracted director of the 1+1 company, He Miao, don't look at the name, it is very tender, but he is a real strong man, he used to be the editor of the "Running man" program group, and now it can be regarded as almost experienced, just when Yanjing Satellite TV was seeking opportunities for cooperation, Shang Jie asked the company's variety show department to plan the case, and finally selected He Miao's this one among more than a dozen planning cases.

"Mr. Song, what do you think?"

On formal occasions, Shang Jie's address to Song Zheng naturally can't be too casual.

Song Zheng thought about it, and carefully recalled He Miao's plan just now, the theme has been figured out, and it is still very creative, the program team will participate in the Beijing Film Art Examination at the beginning of the year, and choose some students with better qualifications to join this show.

Unlike the current domestic variety shows, which invite big names in the entertainment industry to be the main guests, the protagonists of this show planned by He Miao are those who are not on the list.

They will enter Beiying to study in the name of trainees, of course, even so, the people who can be selected are one in a hundred, and the program team has gone through layers of screening among the many young people who have signed up, and thirty people have been selected, but this is still not the final list, according to the regulations of the program, there will only be fifteen Xin Yun'er on the final list.

Although they are not officially enrolled students of Beijing Film and Television, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are lucky to be able to enter this highest palace of Chinese film and television for five months of study.

The role that Song Zheng wants to play in it is a mentor, and there will be two other people who will serve as mentors at the same time, namely Zhang Jingchu and Zhang Hanyu, both of whom have also arrived at the 1+1 company today.

"Director He, you just said that this show is through the elimination system, and a winner is finally selected, I don't think it's necessary for this show to join this competition system! ”

If this was said by someone else, He Miao would definitely refute it, but when it came out of Song Zheng's mouth, it was obviously different.

"Mr. Song, what do you mean ~~~~~?"

Song Zheng sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since we want these young people to go to Beiying to study, it is better to refer to Beiying's system, pass the exam, and eliminate the worst ones, instead of deciding their fate through an inexplicable competition!"

Although Song Zheng did not officially go to college, he also knew how difficult it was for a young man with a dream to be admitted to Beiying and graduate from Beiying.

Many people know that Beiying is difficult to get into, that is because too many people want to become a star, and being able to become a star has become the dream of many people in today's society, and everyone longs for that feeling of being in the limelight, but it is not so easy to become a big star.

Some people are well-known for their talents and become Internet celebrities, and some people are discovered by talent scouts and become popular, but more people choose to go to professional art colleges for further study, especially Beiying, although there are still Chinese opera and upper drama, but Beiying is often the first choice for young people with star dreams, because it is not only the cradle of stars, but there are more opportunities to grasp.

Every year, about 10,000 people participate in the assessment of Beiying, but the final number of admitted people is only 50, so the assessment of Beiying is also called the devil's assessment by many people.

Not only does it have great requirements in terms of talent, but even its appearance needs to be good enough, and even, the requirements for appearance are so strict that not only can they not have plastic surgery, but even eyebrow tattoos are not allowed.

As for how difficult it is, for example, Wang Shasha, who debuted as a child star, is famous for playing Mo Xiaobei in "Wulin Gaiden". has also played on the same stage with big stars such as Yao Dazui, Yan Ni, and Sha Yi many times. But she participated in Beiying's three assessments, but none of them were admitted, which shows how difficult Beiying's assessment is, there is no back door at all, and the only thing that can win the test is unique talent.

and You Haoran, he once acted in "Family with Children" with Zhang Yishan, playing Xia Yu in it, and he has also been acting since he was a child, and when he grew up, he also participated in the assessment of Beiying, but he also failed the assessment, which shows how difficult it is to study in Beiying.

Director Zhang Yimou Many people know that he has a very high status in the film and television industry, in his previous life, he personally selected a girl, trained him personally since he was a child, and when he grew up, he also went to participate in the assessment of Beiying, and he also ate a closed door, and did not admit her because of Zhang Yimou, this child was also selected by Song Zheng to sing "Singing the Motherland" at the Yanjing Olympics.

Child stars don't have any advantages at all when they participate in the Beijing Film Art Examination, and similarly, they will not be admitted because someone is a child of a rich family or a second-generation star, so if they want to participate in the Beijing Film Art Examination, they can only work their talents

Many people think that some assessment requirements are too unreasonable and have no substantive assessment attitude, but in Song Zheng's opinion, Beiying's devil assessment requirements are reasonable, it does not classify the crowd, does not set thresholds because someone is poor or rich, and does not give special treatment because of who has a background.

It is very difficult to be admitted to Beiying, and the lucky ones who are also admitted to Beiying are not at ease, in Beiying, there is also an assessment system, and those students with poor grades may be persuaded to quit at any time, which is also the main reason why the number of people on every graduation photo of the Beiying Performance Department is so small.

After Song Zheng finished speaking, Zhang Jingchu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue, and just said that other people's plans were too cruel, but Song Zheng immediately came to an even more cruel one.

Zhang Jingchu is from Chinese opera, and she doesn't know much about the teaching system of Beiying, but there is also a similar elimination system in Chinese opera, and there is no need to waste teaching resources for those students whose grades are too poor.

Song Zheng saw that no one refuted, and continued: "If there is no opinion, I hope this piece can be revised as soon as possible." ”

When He Miao heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "Okay! We will complete the revision as soon as possible!"

Although it is inevitable that Song Zheng will change his planning plan at will, he will inevitably feel a little unhappy, but who made Song Zheng the big boss, who dares to refute what he said, maybe Zhang Yan can still say two sentences here, but He Miao is not good, he is now a small director, and his planning plan can be selected by the company, it is already the ancestral tomb smoking, disobedient, and doing it, it is greasy and crooked, He Miao asked himself if he was not so stupid.

"Okay, let's get here today, your plan is still very good overall!"

Song Zheng said this, not simply encouraging, but telling the truth, although it is still a talent show, but it has been liberated from a fixed stage, and the form of the show is also ingenious, not to choose idols, but to choose real actors.

Speaking from the heart, after Song Zheng watched it, he really liked this plan, if he was forced by Shang Jie yesterday to reluctantly participate in this show, then now, Song Zheng is willing, and even has some expectations.

"Show me the selection video of the thirty members you have selected, and I'll familiarize myself with it first!"

In this show, Song Zheng has to serve as a mentor, although Song Zheng has never done this job, but since he has to do it, Song Zheng naturally has to do his best.

Song Zheng was already up as he spoke: "By the way, what is the name of this show?"

He Miao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but panic a little, she had thought about everything, but she forgot to name this show: "This~~~ We haven't thought about it yet!"

When Song Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "What do you think of calling it "First Grade"?"

First grade?

Everyone in the conference room was stunned, thinking about it carefully, although the name proposed by Song Zheng is not a new drama and is not loud, it is really appropriate to associate it with this show.

"Okay! It's called First Grade!"

After the meeting, Song Zheng originally wanted to go home, but he hadn't seen Zhang Jingchu for a long time, and when he saw her resentful look, how could he pretend not to see it and go home directly to accompany his wife.

In Song Zheng's office, there is no mutual complaint after a long reunion, after being together for a long time, they have long been over, and the sky fell apart when the relationship just germinated, and began to return to flat, maybe the physical thirst and spiritual joy still exist, but more often, they have been able to face and deal with the relationship between each other very calmly.

In Zhang Jingchu's view, Song Zheng is his man and the father of her child, and what is missing between them is nothing more than a certificate.

Similarly, in Song Zheng's view, Zhang Jingchu is his woman and the mother of his children, except for the piece of paper, she is no different from Lin Xinru.

"Are you going to continue to rest?"

"No, aren't you here to participate in this show?" Zhang Jingchu lowered her head and trimmed her fingernails.

"You know what I'm talking about?"

"I don't know!"

Zhang Jingchu rarely scolded Song Zheng verbally like this, but this time it was an exception, after knowing the relationship between Song Zheng and Fan Bingbing, although she had accepted it, she had nothing to accept, it was the responsibility of the eldest woman to guard against Xiao San'er, what does it have to do with her, but there must still be some unhappiness in her heart.

Song Zheng was so stunned that he didn't know how to pick it up, and suddenly he didn't know which nerve was wrong, so he asked inexplicably: "Have you been in contact with Fan Bingbing recently?"

When this sentence was spoken, Song Zheng regretted it first, but he had already said it, and he couldn't refresh Zhang Jingchu's memory, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Since he came back, Song Zheng also tried to contact Fan Bingbing, but the woman seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace.

Zhang Jingchu glanced at Song Zheng playfully: "It's good, but recently she went abroad and seems to be planning to study for a while, and then come back to make Director Feng's movie!"

Song Zheng naturally knew about it, and he recommended it.

Zhang Jingchu had been observing Song Zheng's expression, her heart was slightly sour, and then she said: "She also made a movie before she went abroad, do you know?"

Belch?

What did you shoot again?

"What movie?"

Zhang Jingchu had already read the script of "Apple" before, and knew that there were some exciting scenes in it, and she said it just to stimulate Song Zheng and relieve the resentment in her heart.

"Apple!"

When he heard Zhang Jingchu say the name "Apple", Song Zheng subconsciously frowned, and turned around, Fan Bingbing still filmed this drama, he had also seen this movie in his previous life, and like many people, the first gimmick that attracted him was of course the "passionate drama" in it, just like "Lust and Caution".

When I first walked into the cinema, it was also because when the movie was promoted in the early stage, he spared no effort to take this as a selling point, although as a man, Song Zheng wanted to see the large-scale scale of Fan Ye's dedication to art, but as a movie fan, he has always been very disgusted by this hype of the media, and the way to attract people's attention seems to always be to use "sex", "violence" and "gossip" with great fanfare to stimulate the audience's subconscious, so that people's adrenaline hormone secretion increases, so that they can have the desire to watch these movies, in this regard, Song Zheng can only say that this is the sadness of the Chinese media and the sorrow of the Chinese people. As one of the most important media to guide the minds of the masses, these media are really making this society more impetuous and empty.

If you simply evaluate the movie "Apple", it is actually very good, and it is not complicated in terms of the overall framework, that is, it is about two families, intricate incest, mutual revenge, selfishness and tragic ending in the end.

Song Zheng can still recall some of the details, such as the first few scenes, which are really "scary", if you remember correctly, the last time Liang Jiahui had a bare ass was in the famous Venice "Lover".

After the "shock", it is the real unfolding and attraction of the plot of the movie, where everyone is lost in this gorgeous big city.

The man in the film is selfish, the woman in the film is helpless, and the rich and poor have a strong imbalance in their emotional and monetary desires. Except for the heroine Apple, everyone is surrounded by their own interests.

After An Kun was raped by Lin Dongqiang, his first thought was not how to protect his wife and punish the wicked, but extremely selfish to find a way to balance his psychology, when his wife didn't know what to do, and could only use his body to express his love for him and ask for his forgiveness, he thought that his wife was such a cheap woman, after resisting again and again, the male had a primitive desire for the female physiology, but let him get up and fuck his wife.

Next, he used his affair with Lin Dong's wife to "balance" what the other party did to him on the surface. He then began to do whatever it took to profit from this "rape case", which drove him to forgive the rapist of his wife, and to become a "partner" in a very absurd way, and finally even to sell his own flesh and blood, when his conscience told him that it was too late.

And the wealthy Lin Dong is a playboy, in addition to his wife, he has a desire for other women, after raping Apple, he has no shame, but in order to save his face, he wants to end this matter in the simplest, most economical, and most irresponsible way.

Until he learned that Apple was pregnant, and the child might be his, because his wife was infertile, and he still had no children, he found that An Kun's proposed transaction to exchange money for a child could satisfy his desire to have a child, and interests once again prevailed over morality, so he and An Kun turned enemies into friends, and even took Apple as his wife's meticulous care, but in fact, Apple is just a tool for him to have children. A serious moral and ethical problem is eventually materialized and turned into a "transaction" on the "business field".

Apple, the main thread of this movie, is also the most heart-wrenching character, perhaps because of her innocence, ignorance and cowardice. After his body and soul were hurt, although he struggled to get rid of the child, he finally succumbed to the pursuit of her husband's interests, and before the child was born, she became a container for Lin Dong's childbirth, and after the child was born, she became "someone else's child's wet nurse".

In Lin Dong's house, she was a cow and a horse, and was often insulted by Wang Mei, for the sake of her husband, she could only swallow her anger, but when her husband wanted to get the child back, she didn't want to believe that everything before was a lie, and after a fierce quarrel with her husband, she was finally kicked out of the house, and then she understood that after a woman gave everything to one person, and was finally abandoned, there was nothing but panic.

The ending of the movie is tragic, the women choose to leave, and the selfish men get nothing. At the end of the movie, An Kun and Lin Dong pushed the flame-out BENZ on the road, and Li Yu expressed her understanding of the difference between men and women, rich and poor in life in such an ordinary and allegorical way.

While the disadvantaged need to rely on the so-called strong groups, they also have another option, to leave, and after they leave, the position of the strong groups has not loosened, but their pace has become difficult.

Another phenomenon that impresses Song Zheng very deeply in the film is that in real love, no matter how women struggle, resist, and try to break through the "shadow" of men hanging over their heads by all means, but in the end they still can't shake the dominance of men in love. Just like Peng Haoxiang's "Exodus", men are all bad men, bad men should die, but they can never kill bad men.

The plot of the whole movie is very absurd, the environment created makes people feel bleak and sad, and the DV shooting technique and light background music make this movie look more realistic. The occasional sporadic depiction of the lives of the people at the bottom of the society in the shaky footage allows people to see the other side of Yanjing, a city full of brilliance, and this seemingly calm and harmonious side always makes people feel a little cool.

This is a successful film, which depicts the tragic but helpless world behind a flashy society very carefully and profoundly, and it is also a rare unconventional masterpiece in Chinese cinema for many years.

But no matter how good it is, as long as he thinks of the scenes that Fan Bingbing presents in this play, Song Zheng's heart is still very uncomfortable, no man wants his woman to be shared, even if it is lewdness.

"What's the matter?"
